Undergraduate Advisors

You don’t have to navigate your degree alone! The College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CANR) has a team of experienced advisors who can help guide you through a major to graduation.

If you're not sure which major in CANR is for you or are an Exploratory Major student, contact Dr. Dorcia Chaison (chaison@msu.edu or 517-355-0234), in the CANR Office of Academic and Student Affairs, and she will be your initial advisor.

Changing a Major or Minor

If you're changing your major or minor in the CANR, please set up a follow-up appointment with your CANR academic advisor. Learn more on changing your major or minor.

You can also schedule advising appointments online. (More details: MSU Student Information System resources.)
