Advisement
All students are assigned a faculty advisor to assist in planning
a program to meet their educational goals, and to answer questions
relating to graduate studies. The advisor will assist the student
until all course work is completed and he/she chooses a major professor
to chair their M.S. or Ph.D. thesis/project/dissertation or MPH
integrative project.
All administrative questions should be directed to Ms. Marcia
Wopperer, Graduate Program
Coordinator. Students are expected to consult with their advisor
prior to registration each semester. Failure to do so could result
in a student's program not meeting the requirements necessary
for graduation which may delay degree conferral. Although it is
the faculty's responsibility to be available for students,
students should be respectful of faculty's time and schedule
appointments whenever possible.
If for any reason a student wishes to change advisors, he/she should
submit their request in writing to Dr.
Carl Li, Director of Graduate
Studies (a copy should also be sent to the current advisor).
Changes will be made only with the approval of the new advisor.
The department will try to accommodate all student requests.
