Graduate Student Advisors

One of the special characteristics of graduate programs at Mansfield University is the importance placed on the advisor-advisee relationship. We regard it as essential that you have an advisor assigned as you enter your program. Admissions will notify the department who assigns an advisor to you. There are many opportunities to tailor programs to your unique professional goals. The graduate advisor works as a collegial professional mentor with their assigned graduate student. Degree seeking graduate students will not be allowed to progress beyond 9 graduate credits without being assigned an advisor.
