Undergraduate Advising

Academic advising is a collaborative process—we'll partner with you to plan your personal, academic and vocational goals and help ensure your success as a student in the College of Science and Engineering.

Our academic advising model is guided by our core values of care, academic excellence, diversity, faith, justice and leadership.

• We are committed to providing you with guidance and support to help you develop a successful educational plan.
• We share in discussion and reflection on your experiences.
• We monitor your academic advancement and performance. 

Who We Advise:

• Pre-Science and Pre-Engineering Students (who have not yet been admitted to their major but are admitted to the college): A professional advisor will partner with you to discuss potential majors and develop a plan to meet your degree requirements. 
• Science and Engineering Students (who have been admitted to their major): A faculty advisor from your department will partner with you to review your degree requirements and ensure that your educational plan continues to reflect your goals. You can also meet with a professional advisor to discuss changing your major or adding a minor.
• Pre-Health Students (any Seattle University student who is interested in pursuing a health field career): A pre-health professional advisor will partner with you to discuss professional health paths and develop a plan to meet the entrance requirements for your chosen field. Learn more about pre-health here.
• Post-Baccalaureate Pre-Professional Health Studies Certificate Students (who have already earned a bachelor's degree but are interested in pursuing a professional health path): A pre-health professional advisor will partner with you to discuss professional health paths and develop a plan to meet the entrance requirements for your chosen field. Learn more about the post-baccalaureate certificate.
• Students interested in switching to CSE: We are happy to advise students who are exploring moving to the College of Science and Engineering from another college within Seattle University.

Note: Faculty advisors are instructors who offer specialized guidance for students in their same academic field. Professional advisors provide comprehensive guidance for all university students and can refer students to both College of Science and Engineering as well as campus-wide resources and services.
