Advising
The department has a long-standing reputation for providing students with dedicated, personalized advising.
Faculty advisors work closely with students in providing guidance on course planning, extracurricular activities, internship opportunities, and career placement. Advisors also initiate requests for course substitutions, provide referrals to campus resources. (e.g. Student Success Center), and write reference letters for students when appropriate.
Advisors have an open door policy, however, it is best to make contact ahead of time and make an appointment.
Although UT requires students to meet with an advisor only once per year, the department strongly encourages visits at least once per semester, and more often as needed.
Links to profiles and contact information for faculty members who advise students in each of the Department's majors are provided below. If you are unsure who your advisor is, or have not been assigned one, please contact Dr. Park.
