Advising and Enrollment

If you're thinking about majoring or minoring in one of our programs, the best place to start is by talking to an advisor. An advisor will help you discuss your academic interests, talk about the the requirements of the major or minor, and walk you through actually declaring the program.

Your first contact is the person who can help you answer questions such as "Should I major in Italian?" or "How will minoring in French enhance my career opportunities?" A meeting with your first contact will help you answer those questions, as well as plan your program, a study abroad experience, and potential courses.
