Departmental Advising

After Freshman year, all questions about departmental requirements should be discussed with the Biology department advisor rather than the college advisor. All students are required to consult a departmental advisor in the semester before they expect to graduate. This is critcial as your departmental advisor is the person who will certify you for graduation with a degree in Biological Sciences.

Advisors are assigned based on the first letter of your last name. Dr. Stoffer (A-G), Dr. Konishi (H-N) and Maria Torres (O-Z) handle advising duties within the department. Dr. Mosley is the Undergraduate Director who also works with students. If you have questions about undergraduate research in or outside of the department, please contact Dr. Buchholz. If you have already been meeting with another biology adviser, you are welcome to continue with that adviser. You may contact advisers at:
