Undergraduate Program Advisement

The Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) and/or the Undergraduate Committee will assign each newly accepted departmental major to a faculty Advisor, according to the concentration specified by the student. The student should devise a plan of study in consultation with the faculty advisor and should continue to discuss the progress of his/her program through further conferences with the faculty advisor, at least once every semester. Faculty advisors may suggest additional course work in another department. If the student's interest changes, he/she may request a different faculty advisor. Such requests should be made in writing to the Undergraduate Office in 380 Fillmore. The student should discuss his/her post-graduation plans with the advisor, and should expect the advisor to assist in applications for employment or graduate educational programs.

Note: your Departmental Advisor is there to support your Anthropology program, and to help you in your post-graduate transition. For UB GenEd or other university academic requirements you should consult with CAS advisors in 275 Park Hall, 645-6883. (Make an appointment!) The CAS Advisor for Anthropology is Wendy Orosz, wendyoro@buffalo.edu.
