Variables judiciales

There shall be available a clearly explained and accessible academic advising system for students, as well as readily available career and placement advice.

This criterion is met. All new students attend a two-day orientation and are provided with the Student Handbook. Academic advising takes place at the departmental level, and departmental handbooks are

also provided to each student. Each student is assigned a faculty advisor based on academic interests with whom they plan a general course plan and meet at least once per semester to discuss curriculum, internship placement, resource referral or other support. Dual degree candidates may have an additional advisor, and doctoral candidates may have an additional research advisor. Students may switch advisors as needed. Over the past three years, over 50% of graduates have rated their advising experience as good or excellent, though site visitors also noted that 16-19% of graduates rated their advising experience as poor, which warrants further investigation by degree program and department. The site visitors also noted that the response rates for the surveys were not provided.

Career advising takes place at the level of the department, school and university. Faculty advisors within departments provide internship guidance and networking as well as individual career advising, and the department provides opportunities for professional development. School-wide services include a dedicated full-time career counselor who provides one to one counseling. The school’s career counselor also facilitates career workshops, alumni panels and workshops on job-searching. The school hosts a career services website with an electronic job-posting site and electronic career resources and guides. The Office of Academic Affairs provides additional counseling services. Over the past three years, approximately 80% of graduates rated their satisfaction with career services as satisfied or very satisfied, with 4% or less as dissatisfied or very dissatisfied. This satisfaction rate, in conjunction with the high employment rate six months after graduation, strongly reflects the success of the career counseling services.

The high level of satisfaction with both academic advising and career advising was evident to the site visitors in their meetings with current students as well as alumni. They lauded the accessibility and availability of faculty advisors, staff helpfulness and ample opportunities for career counseling and opportunities.
