Experience Next-Level Advising

Advising is not just for selecting courses and staying on track to graduate. We help you see your full potential and design a plan to achieve it.

We start with a holistic approach — getting to know you, your identity, your interests, and your values. Then we work from an appreciative advising framework, helping you fully realize the confidence you rightly deserve to have in yourself and your capabilities. 

Connect With an Advisor

MBU makes advising flexible and accessible for online students, both graduate and undergraduate. Remote meetings can be scheduled over the phone or via zoom to fit your schedule.

Our advisors are prepared to talk with you about: 

• Navigating the college experience
• Tying your academics to your personal and professional goals 
• Course planning and sequencing
• Improving time management and study skills
• Balancing college and other parts of your life 
• Connecting with other support services such as tutoring, personal counseling, and disability resources
• Transferring in credits
