About Academic Advising
Undergraduate Students
Whether you’re an incoming freshman, a senior about to graduate with your college degree, or a new transfer student, your Wright State academic advisor will help you define and achieve your academic goals. Academic advisors will:
- Assist with exploring majors
- Explain degree requirements and planning
- Direct you to university resources
Centralized advising at Wright State helps you move smoothly into a degree program that fits your interests while pairing you with advisors who understand your potential career path and help you stay on track for graduation.
Graduate Students
Graduate-level students work with their assigned faculty advisor to establish a graduate degree program of study (M.Ed., M.R.C., M.S., etc.).
