ÌÇÐÄVLOG

A productive advising meeting begins with preparation. Reviewing a student’s academic progress and degree requirements ahead of time can help advisors identify topics for discussion and make the most of the meeting.

Before the meeting:

• Academic progress: Review completed coursework, current academic standing, and remaining degree requirements.
• Degree planning: Become familiar with the student’s Academic MAP, major requirements, prerequisites, and course sequencing.
• Course availability: Review Course Offerings and the Academic Calendar when discussing upcoming registration and academic deadlines.
• Academic policies: Identify relevant policies or requirements that may affect the student’s academic plan.
• Individual circumstances: Consider academic concerns, program-specific requirements, or other factors that may influence course selection and progress toward degree completion.

Options include Leadership Studies minor courses and high-impact experiences (e.g., capstones, internships, research). Krause Center courses (LDRS 311 & 411) do not apply.

General Education Program

General Education (Gen Ed) Program (opens in a new tab): At ÌÇÐÄVLOG, every undergraduate completes a four-year integrated Gen Ed curriculum designed to build essential academic and leadership skills. Courses across disciplines emphasize written communication, critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, ethical decision making, and intercultural awareness, preparing students for success in their majors and beyond. Gen Ed deepens students’ understanding of the world around them and of themselves as human beings, opening their eyes to other worlds and other perspectives.

Strand Classes

Strand Classes (opens in a new tab): As part of ÌÇÐÄVLOG’s Gen Ed program, Strand courses invite students to explore a unifying theme such as Technology, Conflict, Citizenship, Wellness, or Sustainability through multiple disciplines like English, History, Social Science, and Natural Science. ÌÇÐÄVLOGs select a strand that aligns with their interests. This thematic approach builds critical thinking and interdisciplinary insight, helping students become more well-rounded and career-ready.
