| Abstract |
|
The purpose of this study is to review the structural characteristics of academic advising for first and second-year undergraduate students in selected American universities and provide some guidelines for establishing the academic advising systems at the institutions of higher education in Korea. The cases included in the study are Brown, Duke, George Mason, Harvard, Princeton, and Yale. The academic advising, along with the academic structure and academic curriculum, is one of the three critical components of the undergraduate education in American colleges and universities. The academic advising systems at these universities were built upon highly developed administrative structure, specialized areas of advising, and well trained professionals in higher education. A great majority of the freshmen and sophomores in the universities reside in on-campus housing, and the major American universities have developed the effective undergraduate advising systems at their residential colleges. One of the fundamental approaches in American undergraduate education philosophy is to integrate “learning” and “living” in college campus life. Offering the comprehensive academic advising programs at such convenient locations as student dormitories and residential colleges seem to reflect the emphasis on “student- centered” academic programs in American universities. |
