Make an Advising Appointment

Welcome to DUS

The Division of Undergraduate Studies will be located on the 3rd Floor of the Bank of America Building for the Fall 2016 semester.

The Division of Undergraduate Studies is the academic home for students exploring multiple academic programs before committing to a course of study. Academic advisers in DUS teach students how to:

  • understand the purposes of higher education
  • make connections between personal interests, life goals, and academic opportunities
  • think critically and question common assumptions about majors and careers
  • find educational opportunities such as study abroad programs, research assistantships, leadership activities, and internships

DUS Student Story

Brad Zoka

"The thing I really love about DUS is you don’t know what you want to do and you get to have a taste of a lot of stuff and finally you’re going to get that 'ah ha’ moment. "Oh, I know I want to do with my life."
