Mission
This office supports the college's mission of academic excellence by promoting the college to prospective undergraduate and master's applicants, by facilitating the master's application process, and by admitting well-qualified students to the master's programs. The office helps undergraduate and master's students become knowledgeable about academic programs, pertinent regulations, and services available throughout the university.

Areas of Responsibility
The staff of the Office of Academic Assistance and Master's Admissions advises those interested in admission to the master's programs of the college. Other purposes of this office include preparing evaluations of students' academic progress and standing, assisting students in course selections and schedule revisions each semester, explaining catalog regulations, and administering policies of the college and the university.

OAA counselors see master's students and applicants by appointment and as walk-ins on a space-available basis. Applicants and students who need information not included in this catalog are encouraged to avail themselves of the services of this office.

Faculty Advisers

Students in the specialized programs work with faculty advisers in planning their programs of study. Students in all programs may contact the faculty advisers on questions relating to course content. The initiative for contact with the faculty adviser lies with the student, who also may have access to other members of the faculty.
