Carnegie Mellon University

Academic advising can be one of the most important elements in undergraduate success. In our department, each student is mentored and advised by our faculty in a variety of ways.

Students are able to tailor their educational experience here at Carnegie Mellon to include additional majors or minors, study abroad, and experiential learning opportunities. Students are encouraged to meet with their academic advisor at least once a semester to discuss their plans and to incorporate these elements into their curriculum.
