Undergraduate Advising
Majors in Broadcast and Electronic Communication Arts (BECA) should consult with two advisors each semester:
- A BECA advisor and
- A general education (GE) and university requirements advisor in the University Advising Center.
Students who are completing a minor or an additional major should see an advisor in those programs as well.
