A student and advisor outside of the Davis Center.~
The open door of a faculty office.
As you can tell, self-directed learning is a popular term here, but we don't want you to make all the big decisions without guidance. When you arrive at COA you'll be given an advisor who will help you make sense of our short list of requirements, help you determine which ones you've met already, and guide you through your first months here. Often transfer students will be in touch with our professors while making their college decision and if you create a connection before you begin at COA you can make a request for a certain advisor.
