The Academic Affairs Office at the Museum School provides help and information on program planning for all undergraduate students.

Both individual and group meetings are available. At your advising session, you and a member of the advising team will discuss program requirements, course selection at the Museum School and Tufts, your educational interests or concerns, difficulty with courses or course load and your short- and long-term goals. You can also obtain pre-approval of potential academic transfer work at other colleges and universities.
