Our advisors help students investigate courses of study and to declare and complete majors and minors in American Culture and our Ethnic Studies units.
Once you have declared a program of study in our department, we recommend that you meet with your advisor at least once a year to go over your individual course selections and ensure you will meet the program requirements.
You should also communicate with an advisor about any transfer credit questions.
We offer in-person, remote, and phone appointments. Please schedule your appointment through the link below and specify a preferred format for your meeting. If you are unable to keep your appointment time for any reason, please cancel your appointment using this system.
