Faculty Advising

If you have questions about your major requirements, course selection, or careers related to Sociology, Criminology, or Social Justice we encourage you to speak with your faculty advisor - see your assigned professor below. 

You can access your major worksheet which is useful when meeting with your faculty advisor: Major & Minor Worksheets/Option Checklists. 

For general advising, including university/graduation requirements and General Education advising, please schedule a time to meet with a staff advisor in the Office of Academic Advising : Academic Advising.  

If you have any questions, contact the department's Administrative Coordinator.

Faculty Advisors for all of our degree programs are assigned alphabetically by last name.
