Academic Advising
Academic advising in C&IS occurs by both professional advisors, housed in Tisch Student Services and External Relations on the first floor of Reese Phifer Hall, and by faculty members in each department. Our academic advisors value the diverse backgrounds and perspectives of our students and contribute to their academic success through coaching and mentoring. Whether you’re beginning course registration for a future semester, exploring study abroad, seeking internship opportunities, or need academic resources, you can start these conversations with your academic advisor!
Student Experience
