Advisement

Undergraduate

Education majors are assigned to a professional advisor for program planning and course scheduling. Advisors are located on the Statesboro Campus in the COE Advisement Center in the College of Education Building Room 1107, in the Student Success Center on the Armstrong Campus, and on the Liberty Campus. Since the College’s programs are developed to enable students to meet the certification requirements of the Georgia Professional Standards Commission, it is critical that students meet with their advisor to plan their program of study. All students must complete the core curriculum; however, in order to meet the requirements of the teaching field, professional education, and certification, it is advisable for students to declare an intent to major in education before the second semester of the sophomore year. Prior to admission into the Teacher Education Program, students are designated as non-certification education majors. For additional information or questions about the Statesboro or Liberty Campus, contact Monica Brister at (912) 478-0698 or mbrister@georgiasouthern.edu. For information or questions about the Armstrong Campus, contact McKenzie Peterman at (912) 344-2570 or advisearmstrong@georgiasouthern.edu.
