How are major advisors selected or assigned?
A major advisor is the faculty person who direct your thesis or dissertation research, is your primary mentor and advisor, and provides evaluation feedback to you each year. Under our mentor model of admissions, clinical faculty are actively involved in the selection of the incoming students who will become members of their research team. Therefore, all new students begin the program with a designated research mentor and advisor.
