Academic Advising

The College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences is committed to providing academic advising to all students in the college. Perhaps no other relationship that students develop with faculty on the campus can be as positive as the advising relationship. Advisors can provide guidance and insight, advice and counsel, as well as challenge and support students.

The faculty of the college is dedicated to providing quality advising support for students. To accomplish this goal, almost all advising is done by the faculty.  The college is unique in that advisers have all volunteered to advise undergraduates and have gone through training to familiarize themselves with the curriculum as well as University policies and resources.

All new students in the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences are assigned an academic advisor.

Advising assignments are completed by early in the first  semester of enrollment. During orientation you will be assigned an advisor, or will receive information about how and when your assignment will be made. Wherever possible, the person making your assignment will try to match you with a faculty member in your area of interest. For example, if you were interested in human nutrition, you would likely be assigned someone in the Department of Food Science and Nutrition faculty.
