Grad Advising

Graduate students are advised by the Graduate Admissions and Advising Specialist. Students meet with the 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. Incoming graduate students are encouraged to work directly with the Graduate Admissions and Advising Specialist as they transition into their program anad select courses for their first semester.

Students can seek general career advice, find networking opportunities, and prepare for careers after graduation by contacting Career Services.
