Student Advising
VT offers advising at many levels. The Chemistry Department aims to help students make rewarding use of these resources.
Faculty Advisors
When you select Chemistry as your primary major, you are assigned an academic advisor in the Chemistry Department. Your advisor can assist you in planning your course selections so that your curriculum can be well matched to your interests and career ambitions. Your advisor can also connect you to other services (including other forms of advising) on campus. Like many aspects of university life, it is up to the student to make use of this important resource.
