General Advising Information and Statement

The mathematics department is committed to offering the best possible communication between the faculty and the students. Our Advising Coordinator is always available and willing to meet with all students to discuss both specific course issues as well as to field general questions about the mathematics curriculum and content. 

Math Major Advising

In order to keep up good communication with our mathematics majors, as well as multiple majors, we insist upon one-on-one advising sessions each semester in which both the present educational and future employment desires and plans of the students come together in the consideration and planning of the student's schedule. 

An advising appointment is set up with either the Advising Coordinator or with a faculty advisor to discuss the student's past and present progress as well as future plans. We have faculty advisors from various disciplines so a student with specific interests may meet with an advisor who has a good understanding of the student's personal goals and desires. 

Advising usually takes place during a specific time period each semester, at which point the department and the student have a good idea of how the current semester is progressing. The Advising Coordinator is always available, however, to address any issues that a student might wish to discuss.

We also have an email list for our mathematics majors as well as other interested persons, through which we may send up-to-date information regarding the program as well as employment and financial aid opportunities. If you are not on this list and feel you should be, please email the Coordinator of Undergraduate Advising, Ida Chan, and ask to be added.
