Advising
Students in the programs within the Institute of Intercultural and Anthropological Studies at Western Michigan University receive specialized, one-on-one advising from a program advisor. The program chair and faculty may also assist with student advising. We believe effective, supportive advising is an essential component for student success in AAAS and Anthropology at Western Michigan University. Visit our WES Clusters page to see how to design your Essential Studies to incorporate AAAS and Anthropology around topics such as social justice, global consciousness, or global diversity.
