Student Resources
Advising
Undergraduate students in the B.S. Information Studies (BSIS) program will work closely with an assigned academic advisor throughout their undergraduate college career to outline their program of study, determine which courses to take, and plan for any changes that may arise. In addition, advising is available for undergraduate students pursuing the Intelligence Studies Minor. USF provides a number of resources for students to refer to when looking to meet with an academic advisor.
