Undergraduate Advising Services

The College of Business and Management employs a full-time staff of professional academic advisors to guide you toward successful completion of your business degree. The Program Advisors can help you meet the College's program requirements, transfer course credits from other colleges and universities, declare your business major or minor, apply for graduation, and find answers to any questions you have about College undergraduate degree programs, standards, and requirements.

COBM Program Advisor Office location

Program Advisors are located in room 159 on the south side of the College of Business and Management Building. It's a good idea to make an appointment before you visit, but the advisors do try to accommodate walk-ins if at all possible.

Preparing for an Advising Session

 To help you go where you want to go, the Program Advisors need to know where you are now and where you've been. The first time you visit an Advisor,
   please be prepared to supply:

  • Evaluation of Transfer Credit: If you've earned course credits at another college or university, please bring a copy of the Evaluation of Transfer Credit form that you received from the Northeastern's Admissions and Records Office shortly after you were admitted.

  • Transcripts from other schools attended: The Program Advisors can access information about your progress at Northeastern, but it's  helpful if you bring your transcripts from other schools attended..

A good practice is to keep a folder of your academic history to bring to each advisement session.

Advising Hours

The Program Advising office is usually open from 8:30 A.M. to 4:30 P.M., Monday through Friday,
and will make evening appointments until 7:00 P.M. on an individual basis

Transfer Credit Evaluation

The College requires evaluation of business courses transferred from other institutions. Syllabi need to be provided to COBM Program Advisors and must include course descriptions, course objectives, the textbook used and topics/chapters covered in the courses you are seeking to transfer.

The College does not automatically allow business courses completed at other institutions fulfill its requirements even if the University grants credit for the courses.  It it your responsibility to contact the school (s) and make arrangements to receive the necessary materials.  Contact the Program Advisement Office to make arrangement to submit syllabi for evaluation.
