AdvisementPrograms within the School of Business and Economics are designed for a maximum amount of flexibility in the student's course of study. This flexibility, however, makes it extremely important for the student to confer regularly with his adviser to avoid duplication of some requirements which may be met by a single course. All business and economics students are encouraged to visit with their advisers at least once a quarter to insure proper progress toward graduation.
