The Economics Advising Office has a team of advisors excited to support you in your collegiate
education. Academic advising is a collaborative effort between students and advisors to assist
in making your dreams become reality. The advising team is here to help you understand your
degree requirements and explore the options available to you while at Texas A&M.
Students are not assigned to an advisor, so you may meet with anyone on the team by appointment or drop-in.
