Major Professor


The major professor serves as the student's advisor and mentor. The head of the student's major department may designate a temporary major professor (advisor) for incoming students. During the first year, students should select a major professor who must be approved by the department head. Students may change major professors with departmental approval, but are required to have a major professor in order to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress.
