A Partnership for Success
In the College of Arts and Sciences, we believe the student/advisor partnership is vital to success.
For those interested in the Interdisciplinary Studies major (Integrative or Individualized concentrations) please contact Michelle Quick for your advising needs.
Exploratory Studies students work with advisors from the Maverick Advising Center (MAC). They will guide you through Academic Focus Areas to an academic major you love, all while helping you stay on pace for graduation.
