The Second-Year Experience

A key objective of second-year advising is to help students begin the transition process from Hillyer College to four-year baccalaureate programs. You may continue to work with your first-year academic advisor, or you may choose another advisor who has a special interest or expertise in your future field of study. During the second semester of your second year, you will be put in touch with an evaluator or faculty member at your intended four-year college who will work with you to produce a plan of study for your bachelor degree.
