Academic Advising
When first enrolling at The Wescoe School, each student is assigned an Academic Advisor. Once students have declared a major each is assigned a Faculty Advisor in their major. The role of an advisor is to help students with choices about programs, courses, instructors, class schedules and general academic counseling.
Although students are ultimately responsible for their college career, advisors serve as mentors who will suggest, encourage, interpret and guide. You are encouraged to meet with your advisor each semester as you are making course selections.
Please call our office to schedule a meeting with your advisor: 484-664-3300.
Associates
For some students, this is a great way to earn a needed degree while they work toward a bachelor's degree. For others, an associate's degree provides the focused, two-year experience necessary to succeed. No matter what your plans, our academic advisors are always there to help you chart your course of study.
The Associate of Arts Degree requires the completion of 12 courses as General Academic Requirements and 5 courses in a concentration: Business Administration, Accounting, Computer Science, or Psychology.
