Admissions & Advising
Washburn faculty and staff are ready to help you plan your educational journey. Whether you are a freshman and starting out or an upperclassman who needs an advisor, we are prepared to answer your questions and continue to provide support.
Freshmen and students new to the School of Business should visit with Amber Ybarra initially for help in determining their degree track. Sophomores, juniors and seniors may choose a faculty member advisor. Regularly working with your advisor ensures the best use of elective courses and the quickest, most efficient route to graduation.
Determining the correct catalog year is very important when using our advising literature. Catalog years dictate the requirements of your degree program and can change from year to year. These requirements will remain in force for up to seven years, or until the student decides to choose a newer catalog year. Sometimes it makes sense for a student to choose a newer catalog, while other times it’s more advantageous to use the older catalog. Regularly working with your advisor ensures you are following the right degree track.
