ADVISING pdx.edu/advising
PSU has seven Advising Pathways that group similar majors together based on common major-changing patterns. Pathways give students the opportunity to stay with the same advisor and advising team as often as possible if they change their major. You will be assigned an advisor from the Pathway that advises your major or pre-professional track; if you are undecided about your major, you will select any Pathway that interests you and work with your assigned Pathway advisor as you explore majors.
