Department of Computer Science Faculty Academic Advisors for Undergraduates

Each student majoring in any program of the Department of Computer Science has an program advisor (also called faculty advisor) in the department, helping with course selection, navigating major requirements, deciding on a specific major, career choices, etc. Students should review their faculty advisor’s page for information about office hours, email, contact, etc.

This is different from the college advisor (also called professional advisor) helping students with everything outside of the major program, including general education courses, degree audit, etc.
