Undergraduate Advising Resources

GDB Major Advising

GDB students have access to many on-campus sources of advice. The GDB Advising Office is made up of academic advisors, peer advisors (and current GDB students), a Lead Faculty Advisor, and an Undergraduate Program Coordinator and Scheduler.

Peer advisors and major academic advisors are the first point of contact for general advising questions. Major academic and lead faculty advisors can give students further information about career opportunities, appropriate coursework, and/or internships.

Visit our Advising Information page for current advising hours and detailed information about what kind of advisor you should meet with for your specific questions and concerns!
