Graduate Advising

Entering graduate students are advised initially by the Graduate Vice Chair, and then assigned a faculty mentor who will be an ongoing advising resource for the student. Within the first two years, and typically after passing the preliminary examinations, the student selects a faculty advisor in the area of the student’s research interest. This is done in consultation with the Graduate Vice Chair. Each graduate student is expected to consult with his or her advisor to formulate a plan of student and research. The student’s advisor ultimately will be the student’s thesis advisor.
