The Economics Advising Office helps students navigate our academic programs, plan their studies, and connect with resources at UConn. Our advising team consists of both professional staff academic advisors and student peer advisors. Students can utilize these advising options in-person by drop-in or appointment, virtually by appointment, or via email.
More About Advising
Students are assigned an academic advisor in Student Admin when they declare Economics as a major. Students enrolled in the Honors Program are also assigned to Professor Olivier Morand.
Drop-In Advising
For drop-in advising, students can meet with our peer advisors - no appointment needed! Just arrive in Herbst Hall 309 during drop in hours.
Drop in hours will resume in the Fall of 2024.
Advising Appointments
For in-depth questions or conversations, students can schedule an appointment with their assigned academic advisor. Not sure who your advisor is? Meet our advisors and learn more!
