Academic Advising

Welcome! The Advising and Career Development Center provides a wide range of academic services for undergraduate students. We coordinate academic advising activities among undergraduate colleges and academic departments for undergraduate students.

At WKU, academic advising is required for all associate and baccalaureate degree-seeking students until graduation. Our office advises all Exploratory/Generally Undecided students and helps these students plan for their potential major.
