Undergraduate academic advising recently transitioned to a centralized reporting structure for undergraduate advising, enabling greater consistency, access, and agility in responding to the needs of Seattle University students. Each undergraduate academic advising center reports centrally to the University Advising office, while maintaining close collaborative relationships with their designated schools and colleges. The new advising model expanded professional academic advising to serve all first-year, transfer, and sophomore students with a plan to expand professional advising to all undergraduate students by 2027.
University Advising implements a holistic, proactive approach that centers individual student academic goals, challenges, and career pathways. University Advising now comprises five advising centers working closely with the schools and colleges, as well as a central team to ensure consistent advising practices and expectations for students across the university.

Pre-Professional & Graduate Preparation Advising Programs
Pre-Education Advising is a resource available to help students explore career options in education and pathways to teaching, from preschool through the 12th grade. The Pre-Education advisor is available to assist students preparing for teacher certification, Master in Teaching programs, and teaching careers.
Whether they plan to teach K-8 or in High School, students have the option to complete the Humanities for Teaching major, which offers courses about education, as well as internships in local schools. Students who plan on teaching in the high school setting are advised to major in the field in which they wish to teach. These students may double major in Humanities for Teaching, in order to gain a competitive edge when applying to a graduate program in teaching.
In advising students who plan pursue a post-baccalaureate credential in education, we stress the development of strong writing skills and the completion of a menu of courses and service activities, including volunteer or paid experiences in K-12 schools that will help students to present a strong portfolio when applying to a graduate program in teaching.
Pre-Health advising helps students who are interested in pursuing a career in the health professions in direct patient care. Students are encouraged to utilize the many resources and activities available for Pre-Health students. The Pre-Health advisor can help direct students regarding career exploration, academic planning, and assistance with graduate and professional school applications.

In advising pre-law students, Seattle University’s College of Arts and Sciences follows the recommendations of the Association of American Law Schools. These recommendations stress comprehension and expression in words, critical understanding of institutions and values with which the law deals, and creative power in thinking. These capacities may be developed through study in any of a number of departmental majors. The best preparation and a requirement for entrance to many law schools is the completion of a four-year bachelor’s degree.
Entering students in the College of Arts and Sciences who are interested in law must declare a major in the field in which they are most interested and for which they are best suited. Students should consult with the prelaw advisor at the beginning of their junior and senior years to confirm they are properly prepared for the law school application process. In addition, at the beginning of their junior year, students must acquaint themselves with the entrance requirements of the law school they plan to attend and make arrangements to take the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) or Graduate Record Exam (GRE). For comprehensive information on the College of Arts and Sciences’ pre-law advising program and detailed information on applying to law school, students should visit the pre-law website: www.seattleu.edu/artsci/advising/pre-law
