Academic advising

Students are assigned an advisor to guide their program prior to matriculation. During FSoS 8200 Orientation for Family Social Science, (offered fall semester), students work together to meet one of their goals as first-year students: to get to know faculty members in the department. Students are encouraged to schedule conversations with faculty to get better acquainted, and begin to consider who might serve on their examination committee.
