The MURP Program Director provides guidance and advice to all students, especially those newly admitted into our program, on course selection and sequencing to help enhance their performance. Students' academic progress is monitored every semester, which allows us to provide appropriate advice and guidance. To ensure the effectiveness of student advising, the Program Director reviews students' academic records and meets with those whose GPA falls below a 3.0 to discuss an appropriate course of action, in order to help improve their academic performance. The Program Director also schedules one-on-one meetings with students to learn their progress in the program, the problems they face, and how best our program can improve student services to enhance program-wide student learning and achievement of programmatic goals. Additionally, the Program Director advises students on the requirements and need for timely completion of internships.
