BU Undergraduate Academic Advising Mission Statement

Academic 咨询是大学教学任务中不可或缺的一部分,并使学生参与到探索学术和课外机会的合作过程中,作为实现学术、职业和生活目标计划的一部分。

Learning Outcomes

The learning outcomes for academic advising are a shared responsibility in each school and college. Through academic advising students will be able to:

  • Articulate the intent of general education, school/college, and program requirements.
  • Craft, execute, and continually assess a coherent educational plan, including post graduate options, based on assessment of abilities, aspirations, interests, and values.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the policies and procedures that guide progress to the degree.
  • Identify and access campus resources and co-curricular opportunities to help reach educational, career, and life goals.

Putting Philosophy into Practice

Cultivating a productive relationship with your advisors is an essential component to helping you become confident making effective and independent choices. By initiating conversations that prompt you to think more deeply about your experiences, advisors can help provide the framework for you to develop the competencies to meet expectations and receive the assistance needed to achieve your goals.
