Academic Advising in Resource Economics
Academic advising in the Resource Economics Department is a robust partnership between students and our professional advising team. Res-Econ Advisors serve as guides to help you with short and long-term planning for our majors and minor while meeting your interests and goals. Advisors also help you integrate degree enhancements and high-impact practices like study abroad, domestic exchange, internships, research and other opportunities to complement your studies. We are a resource in times of academic challenge, and a great place to start when you aren't sure where else to go. We facilitate connections between students, alumni, faculty, and other University resources. We aid students who are struggling, find opportunities to celebrate and honor our students, and we create opportunities for learning and professional development. As partners in your education, we require all primary majors meet with our advisors every term to make sure that you receive personalized assistance. UMass may be a large place, but advising in Resource Economics provides a home. There is no shortage of opportunities available at UMass - we are here to help you figure out how to navigate and maximize your college experience.
Our Team Approach
Once you declare Managerial Economics or Environmental & Natural Resource Economics (ENRE) as your major, you will be assigned an academic advisor, so you will always have someone to connect with if you aren't sure where else to go. Our advising model, however, is a team approach: while you are welcome to see the same person consistently, you are also welcome to see the first available advisor, or any departmental advisor with whom you've made a meaningful connection. Regardless of who you meet with, check-in with an advisor at least once per semester, though more often is welcome and encouraged.
