Student Advising

Student Advising

MITT Student Advisors are the best resource on campus for future and current students to talk to about their academic and personal plan. Because advisors work with all categories of students in all of our programs, they have a huge amount of knowledge and experience to share on what works - and what doesn't - when studying at MITT.

MITT student advisors know how to help students:

• Identify and meet their education and career goals
• Work through academic or personal issues
• Create realistic time management and financial plans
• Make informed decisions and know all of their options

In addition to general advising topics common to all students, MITT advisors have specific areas of interest or focus:
