Grad Advising
Graduate students are assigned a full-time faculty member as their advisor. Students meet with their advisor at least once every semester in advance of registration to review their progress in the architecture program and to plan their schedule for upcoming semesters. Faculty advisors can also assist students by providing general career advice, creating networking opportunities, and helping to prepare students for careers after graduate school.
Incoming graduate students are encouraged to work directly with the Architecture Program Director as they transition into their program and select courses for their first semester.
