Sophomores (45+ credits) - Identify your Faculty Mentor

• Identify a Faculty Mentor and start planning ahead for your major courses.  Even if you don't make an official Curriculum Plan this year, finding a Faculty Mentor is a useful exercise to help you focus your interests and goals in this field.  Many 2nd year students are Juniors by credit (earned/are earning 60+ credits) and will need a formal Curriculum Plan.  
• If you're ready to take Junior-level courses (3000 or above), please meet with your Academic Advisor to discuss where best to start in the sequence.
