Each A&S student is assigned to an adviser who has demonstrated excellence in advising. Through a partnership with the SBU Student Success Center (SSC) and the SBU Career and Professional Readiness Center (CPRC), our advisers will help incoming students plan for their future by exploring how their interests and aptitudes mesh with a college major. You will meet with your advisor, a career counselor, and faculty members so that you can find the area in Arts and Sciences that makes the most sense for you.
