I. Your EBE Major Advisor

Every EBE student is assigned a major advisor, and you will keep the same advisor throughout your time in the major. For questions about the EBE major and EBE graduation requirements, please reach out to your EBE major advisor. You should meet with your major advisor at least once each semester to discuss your course plan.

You receive your major advisor information by email at the beginning of each Spring and Fall semester.

You can also find your major advisor information through MyMajor:

On the right side of the page, you will see your Academic Advisor Code with a link to your major advisor’s information.
