To ensure undergraduates achieve academic and post-graduation goals, the College offers advising specific to education, research opportunities, extended learning, and career advancement. From generalists in the College’s Dean of Students Office and faculty who guide curricular planning, to research, fellowship, and career advisers who help students identify experiential opportunities within specific fields of interest, advisers help undergraduates manage—and get the most out of—their time at UChicago.
Every student in the College is assigned to an academic adviser, a full-time professional in the College Academic Advising Office who helps undergraduates pursue their academic interests and plan a program of study leading to a degree. Beyond academics, advisers also provide guidance on pursuits outside of the classroom and help students align their academic choices with emerging career goals.
