All MASP students are expected to complete the same program expectations every semester:
- Achieving and maintaining a GPA of 3.0 or higher.
- Meeting regularly with MASP advisors.
- Being present in and using the MASP study/community space effectively 3-5 times per week. Ìý(This includes meeting with advisors, studying individually or with a group, working on assignments, etc.)
- Enrolling and participating in all designated MASP academic seminars.
- Attending all mandatory MASP program activities during the academic year.​
- ​Participating in at least one internship, research experience or study abroad program.
- Treat others with respect and dignity to foster and maintain an inclusive academic community.
In addition to meeting with designated major advisors, MASP students meet regularly with MASP advisors on: Ìýselection of major(s), completion of Arts & Sciences core requirements, assistance in academic schedule planning, locating specific university resources, establishing short-term goals (e.g. Internships and study aboard opportunities), long-term plans (post-graduate), and assessment of other relevant skills and opportunities that will enhance the likelihood of their post-graduate success. ÌýBecause MASP advisors usually know students as pre-freshmen, and are or have been their instructors, they have a broader knowledge of their students than most advisors. ÌýThis knowledge enables MASP advisors to customize the best plans possible for each individual student.
