Meet the Advisors

From the moment you arrive on campus, you can rely on the Office of Business Student Success. Our team of professional, skilled advisors prepares E. J. Ourso College students to succeed academically and, ultimately, to launch rewarding careers. We offer academic advising and counseling and career and professional development coaching. Students are encouraged to meet early and often with their assigned OBSS undergraduate academic advisor.

Find Your Major-Specific & Internship Advisor

In addition to the OBSS academic advisors, each department has a dedicated faculty advisor for students pursuing any major, minor, or concentration within that department. Their guidance supplements OBSS services. Faculty advisors help in situations involving credits from another university or a study abroad trip, course substitutions, or the waiver of prerequisites. They can also speak about course requirements and help when you have difficulty with coursework.
