Advising Basics

IBM students have several different avenues for obtaining academic support. 

  • The CBA Student Success Center (SSC) provides academic and peer advisors for degree completion. The can provide general academic information, GE, and business core classes. They also provide assistance in the completion/processing of various University forms. They are located in the CBA (Building 164, Room 1060) and also offer convenient virtual sessions.
    • For example: "How many classes do I need to graduate?" "What GEs do I need to take?"
  • The IBM department provides advising specific to major/minor courses.
    • For example, "Is digital marketing right for me as a career?" "I have two potential classes I could take this semester, which class' content best supports my career goals?"

Find your IBM Advisor

All IBM students either have an International Business (IB) or a Marketing Management (MM) major. Within those majors there are Emphasis tracks which allow you to specialize in a field or topic.

  • For IB majors, your advisor is assigned by last name.
  • For MM majors, your advisor is assigned by Emphasis.
