Advising
Academic advising helps you plan your Economics path at WMU. Whether you’re choosing a major or minor, picking electives, or making sure you’re on track to graduate, your advisor can help you understand degree requirements, connect you with campus resources, and answer questions about scheduling and deadlines. To stay on track, meet with an advisor regularly and book your appointments early, especially before registration and graduation deadlines.
