创建BSS专业
Phase 1: Collaboration with a BSS Advisor
Once a student declares the pre-BSS major, 大学学院 will assign a BSS 学术顾问. Students are then encouraged to complete a rough draft of the proposal on the BSS proposal template and meet with their BSS 学术顾问 as quickly as possible 看看他们的草稿. 45-minute appointments are recommended until a student is admitted to the BSS program.
At your first BSS advising meeting, you’ll review your “What-If pre-BSS” DARS report to understand your own “construction zone” to build your major, agree to a timeline and adjust the MyOhio Success Network (MOSN) success plan accordingly, 回顾一下你的初稿. Depending upon the date of your meeting, discussing the adjustment of your current schedule to match your proposed draft may be important. Scheduling a 45-60 minute first advising session is strongly recommended.
Students are strongly encouraged to meet with a 的职业网络 coach to assist with the creation of their transition plan within the proposal. If writing assistance is needed to draft the proposal, please work with a tutor at the 写共享.
Students will collaborate with their advisor to revise and refine their proposal until it receives a “green light.” A green light means that your BSS advisor believes your proposal meets all criteria on the 检查表 and faculty 标题 and is ready for phase 2.
Phase 2: Collaboration with 教师
Once a proposal has a green light, students will begin working with identified faculty partner(s) identified by the BSS advisor.
Students will communicate with faculty online or in person to pursue faculty expertise and input on their own proposal. Once faculty partners support the student’s proposal, a pre-BSS student returns to meets with their BSS advisor once more.
Phase 3: Final pre-BSS Advising Meeting
Prior to the desired residency deadline and once a student has obtained support from their faculty partner(s), a pre-BSS student meets with their BSS advisor one more time to formally prepare and submit their BSS proposal for review and admission to the BSS program.
Deadlines for 2023-2024 Academic Year
Once a student’s proposal is admitted, their major code changes from pre-BSS to BSS, and their approved curriculum appears on the DARS report.
