Anthropology Undergraduate Advising Team:
Director of Undergraduate Studies (Advising Coordinator):
Dr. Jennifer Muller, Anthropology, 3314 WWPH, Email: jem498@pitt.edu
The Director of Undergraduate Studies performs all advising responsibilities. In addition, she evaluates study abroad courses and financial aid progress reports; certifies graduation; addresses questions about policy; and mediates conflict or concerns for or about undergraduate majors. Scheduling appointments with the Director can be done via Pathways or email.
Faculty Advisors:
Upon declaring anthropology as a major, students choose, or are assigned, a member of Anthropology Department Faculty to act as their course advisor/mentor.
Please check Peoplesoft to find out who is your faculty advisor. Faculty advising combines both traditional academic advising advice and professional and career advising. Faculty contact information can be found here: https://www.anthropology.pitt.edu/people
Peer Advisors:
Peer advising goals are to support undergraduate majors with course selection, disseminate information about faculty interests and research, provide general information about major requirements, and to serve as liaisons with various resources on campus. Scheduling appointments with Peer Advisors can be done via Pathways or email.
