Program Advisement

It is necessary that you meet with Lesley Mateo (mateo@rowan.edu) prior to beginning the program. She will be happy to meet with you to discuss the program. To schedule an appointment, you can contact her via email. In addition, office hours are posted outside of each faculty member's door. Feel free to come in during the posted office hours.

Once in the program, it is strongly advised that you communicate Dr. Mateo each semester, to discuss your progress and to answer any questions that you might have. Ongoing communication is the best way to ensure successful completion of the program.
