The Center for Academic and Professional Success is dedicated to helping students achieve their potential in their college years and beyond. We recognize that professional and lifetime success begins with academic success, so we link together a number of important resources for students. Our goal is to help students develop the tools they need to not only succeed while they are here at Baldwin Wallace University, but to succeed after graduation as well.
Center for Academic and Professional Success resources:
Advising is provided by a faculty member in your major and is coordinated through the office of Academic Advising. Students can get help with choosing classes and creating schedules, selecting and changing majors as well as exploring career options. Advisors are there to collaborate with and assist students in determining their academic plans, and moreover, to teach students the steps for strategizing on their own.
