First Year Advising

The Providence College School of Business’ first-year advising model is designed to enhance the first-year experience for PC Business students by helping to provide a smooth transition to college. First-year business students are assigned a professional first-year academic advisor who will be their academic advisor during their first year. These advisors are experienced in working with new students.

Students will attend first-year advising workshops facilitated by various campus partners. These workshops will be offered throughout the year and award students FLIP points. The First-Year Advising Program will provide first-year students with an understanding of the PC Business curriculum and help them develop the skills needed to make important academic and co-curricular decisions. They will provide students with face-to-face check-ins with their first year academic advisor. Topics covered include business curriculum, course registration, career opportunities, alumni speakers and campus resources.
