Advising is a highly important aspect of the student experience in any graduate program. The School of Media Studies offers a range of advising support to students working toward the MA or MS degree in Media Studies.
The Student Advisor
We have on staff a graduate student advisor who is an alumnus of the program. The benefits of this are 1) an alumnus can offer students a holistic perspective of the program, and 2) it allows faculty advisors to build a more qualitative connection with their students, while the student advisor, with the Media Studies office staff, can assist them with administrative and programmatic needs, such as:
- Administrative support and special requests (e.g., clarifying university and/or program policies and procedures)
- Course selection
- Degree audits
- Navigation of the university structure
- Program requirements
Advising Hours: Mondays and Tuesdays, 12:30 noon - 5:00 p.m.
