The Office of Academic Advising assists students with all aspects of their academic planning in order to provide a foundation for appropriate academic decisions based on students’ career goals and aspirations.
Academic Advising Outline: Program of Study Sheet
Students will receive the Program of Study sheet during their first advising visit. It contains prerequisite, core and elective courses as well as the number of credits necessary to meet program requirements for graduation. This program is established in accordance with the policies and requirements in effect on the date of the student’s first registration. Since the school has occasionally changed its degree requirements, it is important that students follow the academic outline listed in the Program of Study sheet, as it may differ from the programs outlined in this or future editions of the Bulletin. The academic outline is also available on the online audit tool DegreeWorks, which students can access on my.fordham. Please note that this tool complements rather than substitutes for counseling by an academic advisor.
Advising Schedule
Academic advising is offered throughout the four weeks leading up to each registration. We kindly request students come in for academic advising 3 times throughout the academic cycle:
- In the beginning of your studies to make sure that you declare your concentration and/or designation, learn about the study options at GBA, and get the Program of Study sheet.
- At the half-way point of your studies to double-check that you’re on track. We can help you to identify relevant concentration and elective courses relevant for your career.
- Before you start your last term to make sure that with your final course selection you have met all requirements for your program of study.
Note: Advising is mandatory for all students planning the final trimester.
To schedule an appointment, please contact Linda Mast at mast@fordham.edu or 212-636-7202. Upon special request advising is also available on an ongoing basis.
