Advising
The professional advising staff of the Office of Academic and Student Affairs provides academic counseling for students enrolled in the Undergraduate Diploma, Bachelor of Music, Undergraduate Performance Certificate, Master of Music, Graduate Diploma, Artist Diploma, and Graduate Performance Certificate programs. They help students select courses, meet educational and career goals, remedy academic difficulties, and better understand NEC’s purposes and policies. The Co-Chairs of the DMA program provide curricular advising for students in the Doctoral program.
Studio instructors and department chairs serve as informal academic and career advisors. In addition, the Community Engagement and Professional Studies Department provides resources for professional development to all NEC students and alumni.
