General Advising Information and
Statement
The mathematics department is committed to offering the best possible
communication between the faculty and the students. The Undergraduate Advising
Office is
always happy to make arrangements 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 the Undergraduate Advising Office
and/or 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 Undergraduate Advising Office 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.
