Advising resources for graduate business students

�鶹��ƵAPK’s School of Business provides you with your staff advisor and faculty mentors to help you through every stage of your program. For resources specific to your program, please consult the information below.

Master's degree students

During your time at �鶹��ƵAPK, you will be assigned a staff advisor from Graduate Advising and Success. At your initial advising session, we will work with you to create a personalized program plan based on which degree you are pursuing.

Your staff advisor is available to assist you with questions about class registration, course planning, finding appropriate content courses, and more. You will meet with your staff advisor at least once a semester to discuss the upcoming term and any other questions you may have.

�鶹��ƵAPK School of Business faculty can answer questions regarding the curriculum, concentrations, and what areas of research might best suit you. You can meet with �鶹��ƵAPK School of Business faculty as needed.

The School of Business academic calendar runs on three 16-week terms. Each 16-week term is divided into two 8-week sessions: Session 1 and Session 2. Most �鶹��ƵAPK School of Business students take one class in Session 1 and one class in Session 2. This is considered full-time status and keeps students on the best track for timely graduation.
Students should submit their form one semester prior to graduation.

PhD in Management and Public Service students

During your time at �鶹��ƵAPK, you will work mainly with the �鶹��ƵAPK School of Business faculty for advising and course planning. The Graduate Advising and Success staff is available to assist when needed.

Graduate Advising and Success is available to assist you with questions about class registration, course planning, and degree completion.

The PhD program director can answer questions regarding the curriculum, how to prepare for courses, and what areas of research might best suit you.
Because of the learning community organization of the doctoral program, continuous enrollment in the required courses is essential. In the event that a student must miss one or more core courses, the following applies:
- The student must apply for a leave of absence.
- A student who returns from a leave of absence within two calendar years from the date the leave was granted will be automatically reinstated in the doctoral program, while students returning after a leave of absence longer than two calendar years must apply for re-admission.
- Upon return from the leave, the student’s placement will be determined by the program director in consultation with PhD faculty with the following stipulations:
  - A student who has completed 6 or more terms (two or more years) will complete the remaining terms through directed study with a faculty member
  - A student who has completed fewer than six terms (less than two years) will be placed in the next available learning community and will complete the required courses with that community
Students should submit their form one semester prior to graduation.
