Advising: Roles and Responsibilities
Advisor Responsibilities
Maintain regularly scheduled office hours for academic and career advising as needed throughout the semester.
Schedule additional office hours as needed during the pre-registration periods.
Provide assistance to advisees in setting both short- term and long-term educational and career objectives.
Assist advisees with schedule planning and course selection on both a long-term and short-term basis.
Be informed about academic policies and procedures and changes in departmental or university curriculum requirements.
Be knowledgeable about campus academic and career support services and refer advisees to these services as needed.
Be knowledgeable about career opportunities and prospects in public health.
Be knowledgeable about post-graduate training or education choices common to public health majors. And assist students in the exploration of graduate training or education options and pathways.
Provide letters of recommendation when asked and sufficient notice has been given. If advisors cannot provide a letter, the student is notified and an explanation provided.
Remove academic advising holds, undergraduate students (only): At the completion of the academic advising session for the upcoming semester: Submit the electronic S.C.O.R.E. card or the Study Abroad Course Advising Form.
Student Responsibilities
Know degree requirements and remain informed about changes in the curriculum.
Map out a plan of action for completing degree requirements and review it with the advisor. This is important to determine what courses need to be taken in sequence, as well as which courses are only offered once every year or every other year so that opportunities to take a needed or desired course are notmissed.
Prepare, in advance, for academic and career advising meetings. Map out courses wanted and needed to take for the degree and any minors or CAS's; or to meet pre-requisite course requirements for additional advanced study.
Make and keep advising appointments.
Make advisor aware of any special needs or problems encountered at Syracuse University. The advisor can help with any problems that may hinder academic success and continued enrollment.
Provide sufficient notice (ideally 14 days) when asking the advisor to provide a recommendation.
Degree Requirements
Courses
Course requirements for the public health degrees are listed in the Syracuse University Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs and on Degree Works.

Additional information & and course substitutions for the program are listed on the PH website.
...
courses that meet the humanity or social science requirement are listed in the College of Arts and Sciences Liberal Arts Core Guidebook. All foreign language courses, numbered 100 – 400, fulfill a humanity requirement. Courses that meet a liberal arts elective requirement include any course listed in this guidebook and approved courses offered within Falk College.

: Public Health Foundational Knowledge Training:
As an admission requirement for all graduate students, all students (with exception of those having a BSPH from a CEPH-accredited institution) are required to successfully complete the online course entitled “PH Foundational Knowledge”.
...
To graduate within 4 years, students take 15-17 degree applicable credits each semester. Pre-clinical health students take 16-19 credits each semester. Recommended course sequencing is detailed in the Undergraduate Student Handbook.
Accelerated Degrees, Public Health, BS/MPH

SU Abroad contains information on the academic programs offered through the Syracuse University program. Courses that meet public health and liberal arts requirements are found on the study abroad pages specific to each site. For further details, students are encouraged to meet with an S.U. student abroad advisor. Information about
financial aid and grants applicable to study abroad are posted on the S.U. site.

The Health Professions Advisory Services serves all university students interested in post-graduate study in medicine, dentistry or osteopathy. A variety of services are offered, including advisement on the most appropriate path to medical school, internship experiences, and research opportunities. Additional information on paths to clinical health graduate programs (including nursing) can be found on the health professions advising web site: Pre-Clinical Advising & Additional Resources. Admission pre-requisite coursework varies program to program. Students are encouraged to explore specific programs to ensure that they have completed the pre-requisite coursework for admission. For more information about advising students interested in clinical health careers see: Pre-Clinical Health Advising.

Physical Science and Math requirements. Science courses must include a lab. Medical and physician assistant programs want these courses to be taken at a 4-year school and during the academic year (vs. summers)
Pre-med and dental: General Biology I and II, General Chemistry I and II, Organic Chemistry I and II, General Physics (algebra based is OK) I and II, Biochemistry I; additional BIO is desirable (genetics, cell biology); Statistics I and calculus
Physician assistant: General Biology I and II, General Chemistry I and II, Organic Chemistry I or Biochemistry I, Anatomy & Physiology I and II, Microbiology I. Some schools require additional BIO (genetics, cell biology); Statistics I ; medical language (some schools allow non-credit courses)
Nursing: Anatomy & Physiology I and II (at SU, must take general BIO 1st), Microbiology, Lifespan Psychology (SU does not offer), Statistics I; many schools require at least one semester of general chemistry
Minors/double majors: pre-medicine and physician assistant student profiles are enhanced by completing a minor in biology or chemistry or a second major in Biology BA or Neuroscience (with focus on biology course options)
...
Syracuse University Health Professions Advising: pre-med and pre-clinical health students should register with this program. The program provides advise on medical and dental school admission potential, ways to strengthen the portfolio, MCAT and DAT preparation, and provides committee letters of recommendation.
Nursing program options
Accelerated BSN and MSN Nursing Programs(information and find a program link). There is no standard nomenclature for naming NUR programs. Searching for programs can be confusing.
Accelerated, second degree – BSN (scholarships may be avail, but no loan or FA)
Direct entry MS NURSING program: eligible for RN licensure. Training for nursing general practice and clinical nurse leader. Pathway to DNP: Doctor of Nursing practice – advanced practice degrees (NP, CNA, nurse midwife)
Direct entry DNP
Accelerated BSN/MS NURSING programs eligible for RN and advanced practice (ie: NP) licensure. Few programs exist. Examples: Yale GEPN and Simmon’s University NUR Direct entry
Pre-clinical health student advising
Students who choose pre-clinical health later (sophomore year) have a considerable amount of catch-up work
Study abroad: summer options exist for physician asst and pre-med and full-semester for nursing
The science sequence should follow as described.
Fill in with LA requirements and PHP courses. CORE courses ideally should be completed prior to PHP 422 (internship). PHP 219, PHP 221, & PHP 223 should be completed by 2nd semester sophomore year.
