Advising at MBU

Next level advising
Our advising team is full of committed and passionate professionals who want to see you succeed academically, professionally, and personally.
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.
