Philosophy:  Effective Principles and Practices for Adult Learners

Faculty Survey: ServingStudents with Learning Disabilities/ADHD

I provide academic advising to students pursuing any of the options under Human Services, as well as students in Associate of Arts programs who are pursuing transfer for bachelor's degrees in psychology, sociology, social work, child development, early childhood education, or related fields.
 

I highly recommend that students see their academic or program advisor during registration, due to the fact that some courses are only offered once a year or once every other year.  A decision to self-advise or failure to see a faculty advisor may adversely affect projected graduation date.
