All newly admitted graduate students must meet with the graduate program director for their program before enrolling in their first class. During the first semester, students are required to select a faculty advisor. After choosing an advisor, students must continue meeting with them at least once each semester to review academic progress and plan future coursework.
Non-Ph.D. students and master’s students on a non-thesis track should contact their graduate program director to discuss their study plan and course requirements.
