Mission

     The Division of General Studies promotes the holistic growth of students, respectful of their individual goals. The comprehensive program works collaboratively with the University community in support of students' academic success. The Division of General Studies also provides essential academic information, and interprets academic policy for new freshmen, new transfers, and current students.

The goals of the advising process are:

•  To assist students in their understanding of academic requirements

•  To nurture intellectual maturation and self-confidence

•  To encourage students to take an active role in the advisement process

•  To foster a positive working relationship between students, advisers, and faculty.
