Our mission is to help students relate their needs, values, abilities, and goals to the educational programs of Urban Education, Social Work and Criminal Justice at the University of Houston-Downtown. We believe that a successful system of academic advising is highly dependent upon a shared commitment of students, faculty and staff to the process and the availability of timely, accurate information.
Because our UHD College of Public Service Advising Office advisors know all of the University's resources and once they understand a student's particular needs and goals, they can bring these elements together to develop meaningful educational plans. Each department encourages students and advisors to engage with one another on an individual basis and work together to develop a unique, individualized academic plan based upon a student's respective strengths, weaknesses, education background and goals.
We view our student/advisor relationship as an on-going conversation that transcends course selection, and assist students as they explore the breadth of the curriculum, experience college life, focus on their chosen major or minor concentration and prepare for life after college. Our advisors are committed to providing the individual advice and assistance students need at every step throughout their degree programs.
Many of the jobs in the Public Service sector may qualify for a federally funded Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program (PSLF).
