Office of Academic Advising
Academic Advisors at the Neag School of Education assist students in creating an educational plan aligned with students’ academic, personal and career goals, and support students in making meaningful choices consistent with those goals.
The Academic Advising Center is staffed with professional advisors who provide information and support to current and prospective students regarding degree progress, careers in education, admission criteria, transfer course evaluation, university and school policies and procedures, and other issues.
