The program is jointly administered by co-directors from the College of Arts and Sciences and the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science. They, after the first year, become the secondary academic advisors for all IDEAS students.
Primary faculty advisors from appropriate disciplines provide quality curriculum advising in each of the student's chosen programs. Careful advising is required because of the greater flexibility of IDEAS.
Students who wish to earn an accredited engineering degree in one additional year should inform their advisors.
