About Advising
Our Mission
Duquesne University's Undergraduate Academic Advisement’s mission embraces the University’s larger mission to serve God by serving students through an “education for the mind, heart, and spirit.” Consistent with the University’s mission, the Undergraduate Academic Advisement staff strives to maximize each student’s success by providing guidance in the process of identifying and achieving academic, career and personal goals. As part of the academic community, advisors assist in preparing students with a strong academic, professional and spiritual foundation to take their place as leaders in a global society.
