Advisement
The Chemistry Department at Buffalo State is committed to an undergraduate and graduate advisement program that is personal, relevant, supportive, and sensitive to the needs of the diverse nature of our students.
Purpose of Advisement
Undergraduate Advisement
Should provide each student with a clear roadmap for timely completion of degree requirements and career opportunities.
Graduate Advisement
May focus more intensely on research, guidance, and professional development.
More Than Course Lists
Course lists meet the requirements for chemistry majors and recommends course sequence, but advising goes beyond course selection to include all aspects of advising:
- Program education
- Career counseling
- Mentoring
- Personal support
- Referral to appropriate campus offices
Our Advisers
Each Chemistry Department major is assigned a faculty adviser. Our advisers help students plan a course of study based on aptitudes, life goals, career interests, academic performance, and the frequency of course offerings. We are available to work with each student advisee to achieve an academic program consistent with the student's academic preparations and plans for the future (to the extent that the student is able to articulate his/her interests and plans), and to assist students in exploring course and program offerings and career choices.
