Advising

Upon admission to graduate studies in MAFLL you will meet with the Graduate Advisor in your primary area of study who will assist you in assessing your competencies, interests and future academic or professional needs and in establishing a preliminary plan of study. On the basis of this preliminary plan of study and in consultation with the you the Graduate Advisor recommends a Major Professor for you and forwards that person's name to the MAFLL Coordinating Committee. The Major Professor assists you in defining a plan of study and consults with one or two other professors in disciplines related to your area(s) of study when appropriate. The Major Professor will submit your plan of study to the Coordinating Committee for review and approval no later than the end of your first semester of graduate work in the MAFLL program.

After you satisfactorily complete 12 credits, you will review the plan of study with your Major Professor, at which time you may request changes in your plan of study consonant with your academic interests. Your Major Professor, together with the other faculty members working with you will try in all cases to provide an integrated program reflecting your individual preferences, competencies and future professional needs.
