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. 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. Once you confirm your enrollment, it is your responsibility to contact the academic department to be assigned an advisor. For your conveninece, this information is available to you on the New & Current Graduate Students website: http://admissions.mansfield.edu/more/graduate-students/current/. Degree seeking graduate students will not be allowed to progress beyond 9 graduate credits without being assigned an advisor. |
