College of Education & Professional Studies

Advising

  • All secondary social studies students should have two advisors: (1) faculty advisor in the content area or area of the broadfield emphasis - College of Letters & Sciences (2) social studies program coordinator (licensure advisor) - College of Education & Professional Studies.

    Consult with both advisors on a regular basis. While the content area advisors and social studies program coordinator make every effort to understand the intricacies of each other's programs, they are not experts in each other's fields. Thus, it is ultimately your responsibility to make sure that you have received the best advising in your content area/area of broadfield emphasis by consulting your advisor in that discipline AND that you have received the best advising in your education program by consulting your assigned Social Studies education advisor.

    If you do not have a content area advisor, or if you do not know who your content area advisor is, check in your student center in WINS, or contact the content area department office. Please review the requirements for your major, minor, and/or broadfield program, which can be accessed in your Academic Advising Report (AAR).
