Advising

Upon enrollment, all graduate students will be assigned a concentration head/advisor and are strongly encouraged to meet with their advisor at least once per semester (typically prior to each semester's registration period) to discuss course options and plan for future semesters/milestones. Appointments can be made by emailing your advisor listed below.

Questions related to academic advising, such as course planning should be directed to your assigned academic advisor. Graduate students are encouraged to seek guidance from faculty about their research and professional development goals. Other administrative matters should be sent to mais@gmu.edu.

All graduate students should regularly update their curriculum worksheets to ensure timely degree progress.
