Advising and Career Center

The faculty and staff of the School of Energy Resources (SER) are dedicated to supporting your success—both in and out of the classroom. SER provides a range of resources to assist you with academic planning, financial guidance, a sense of belonging at the University of Wyoming, and overall wellness.

 

Academic advising at SER is a collaborative process where students and advisors work together to define academic and career goals. Through this partnership, students are guided to make informed decisions and fully engage with the opportunities available to them. Both students and advisors have responsibilities in this relationship, and shared expectations help ensure a productive and successful advising experience.

 

All SER students—whether pursuing a bachelor's degree, minor, or certificate—will meet regularly with the appropriate advising staff for both academic and career support. Students are encouraged to schedule advising appointments as often as needed to stay on track and make the most of their time at UW.

MEthods

During advising meetings, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your coursework—both how individual classes are going and how they fit into your overall degree audit and graduation plan. In addition to academic planning, your advisor can provide support with your professional development, including: feedback on your résumé, cover letter, profile, and account.

 

One of SER’s key goals is to help students secure internships during their sophomore through senior years. Your advisor will also share information about scholarship opportunities, both within ĂŰŃżTV and through external sources.

Your Credential + Your Advisor

Students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Energy Resource Management and Development (ERMD) must select one of two concentrations: Professional Land Management (PLM) or Energy and Environmental Systems (EES). Some students may also choose to participate in the 3+3 QuickStart program, an option within both concentrations that leads to a combined bachelor's and Juris Doctor degree within six years rather than the traditional seven.

 

Academic advising for ERMD majors is provided by all advisors within the Academic Program, depending on your class year and academic pathway. 

 

Students pursuing the Land Administration Certificate through SER should meet with Heather. Heather also advises students enrolled in the Energy Resource Management minor.
