Each department within the college has advising resources to serve your particular needs and interests.
When entering the college, all Penn State Science students are assigned an academic advisor, which can be found on LionPATH under Student Center in the "Advisor" box.
If you are not assigned an advisor or if you would like to speak with an advisor outside of your program, follow the instructions for the specific major program. Make an appointment with your assigned advisor by following your intended major's scheduling process, described below.
