Charting Your Course Arts and Sciences Undergraduate

No matter where you are in your academic journey, check out those awesome opportunities to learn outside of the classroom here or globally. Ask your advisor for more information about internships, community-engaged learning, fellowships, study abroad, and undergraduate research, for example.

Charting your course as a sophomore

  • As a sophomore you will have the same advisor that you had as a first-year student. Your advisor will continue to serve as a point person for any academic concerns, sharing ideas, and as a connection point to other community resources.
  • Continue to explore the core curriculum! Your soft and transferable skills will be noticed as you seek more opportunities.
  • Connect with faculty and the dean's office staff!
  • Discern different major options at Lincoln Center or at Rose Hill, and when you are ready, we’ll help you declare. Events will be held throughout the year to share more information with you.

Charting your course as a junior

  • As a junior, we aim to give you the best of both worlds with an academic advisor focused on core completion and professional development, plus a faculty advisor in your major(s)!
  • Your first and second year advisor will miss you, so please keep in touch!
  • Faculty advisors are here to guide you on future applications and opportunities, networking, you name it!
  • As our rising student leaders, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the dean’s office with your ideas! We love this!

Charting your course as a senior

  • How did the time go by so fast? Now you have a senior class dean who makes sure you are ready to roll and get that diploma in May!
  • Faculty advisors are here to guide you on future applications and opportunities, networking, you name it, this year and beyond!
  • As our student leaders, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the dean’s office with your ideas. By now, we hope you are here all the time already.
  • Enjoy every moment of this special year, and please know that by mid-year, it really starts to hit us. It never gets easier to see you go, but then we get to start a new chapter with you as your colleagues and life-long Fordham family. Sssssh, many of us become deans just to hang out with you during senior week.
