Advising
Elementary Education students work with a professional advisor from NDSU as well as a VCSU faculty advisor once they enter the professional program. Students can find their assigned advisor in Bison Advise and can schedule with the advisor through that platform. The professional advisors are also happy to help all students explore a new major in their area of specialty at a major change appointment. Prospective students are encouraged to communicate with their admissions counselor and schedule campus visits/tours through the Office of Admissions.
