Biological Sciences
Undergraduate advising
Shannon Rauner, Undergraduate Advisor
All majors should see the departmental advisor before registering for their first semester and regularly thereafter. The advisor will make sure that the students take their courses in the proper sequence so that they will be successful in their studies. The advisor will recommend the electives most suited for the career that the student is pursuing. Courses taken without the approval of the advisor, especially at other colleges, may not be acceptable for credit towards a major or minor.
Students minoring in the biological sciences should see the advisor as soon as they
decide to minor in the department.
