Who are we?

Marshall University advisors are individuals who are here to assist you with any academic issues you may face during your college experience. Advisors are unique to each department and are essential to student success at the university.

What do we do?

Academic advisors discuss curricular decisions with you, while also helping you to create the ideal course schedule for your chosen major. We also guide students through a number of challenges which can create barriers to graduation.
