MISSION STATEMENT

The Pre-Major Academic Advising Center (PMAA) provides support to undergraduate students prior to admission to an academic major. The assignment to PMAA either reflects the student's own choice or a designation by the University because:
(1) The student does not meet all of the preparation and/or academic requirements for a particular major, or
(2) A student's prospective major has reached its maximum enrollment for the academic year or semester.

Pre-Major Students are encouraged to take:
checkmarkPre-requisite courses in their intended major and/or
checkmarkCourses in a particular major program because of implied interests

Pre-Major Academic Advisors:
checkmarkAssist students in interpreting University and departmental policies and requirements
checkmarkAssist students with appropriate course selection
checkmarkMake referrals and discuss vocational and career interests

Together, the advisor and the student develop an educational plan of sound strategies for success.
