Undergraduate Student Advising

The Department of History operates an Advising Office located at 4451 Friedmann Hall. The Advising Office is supervised by the Director of Undergraduate Studies, and is staffed by either the Director or other faculty members. Regular office hours, designed to meet a variety of student needs and schedules, are established for each semester. As either a history major or minor, it is very important that you visit the Advising Office early in your career at WMU. You should establish your Department of History advising file, and get to know faculty advisors. Faculty advisors will update your file whenever you visit the Advising Office, and will keep an on-going record of your progress through the major or minor. The Advising Office can help you with course selections, questions about your history major or minor, preparation of major and minor slips prior to graduation, and can assist you in maximizing your academic experience at WMU. The Department of History also encourages history students to get to know other faculty members as "mentors". Students should note posted office hours, and visit faculty to discuss their course work, academic interests, and career goals.
