Any time a Purdue student needs academic support of
any kind, there is no shortage of places and people
who are available to meet the need.

Academic
Advisors — Your academic advisor will play
a critical role as you make decisions about your plan of study and your future career. Each
Purdue program has a dedicated staff of advisors
who are there to answer your questions and provide
guidance as you're scheduling classes, pursuing internships or co-operative education experience, or just if you need someone to talk to.
If you’re a beginning student unsure of your
direction at college and beyond, the Undergraduate
Studies Program (USP) may be a good choice for
you. USP provides extra advising assistance and
specialized coursework to help you make a satisfying
choice of a major and a career.
