Academic Advising

In your first year at Stephens, you’ll take five general education courses designed specifically for first-year students in the following areas:

• Art
• Women’s studies
• Intercultural studies
• Writing
• Science

These courses are your introduction to the college experience and are steeped in the Stephens culture and tradition of hands-on, project-based learning. The first-year experience is designed to give you a taste of the wide variety of studies available at Stephens.

• Taking only five gen ed courses in your first year means you’ll be engaged with major classes from day one, and will work with a faculty adviser in your major from the start.
• Interested in more than one major? In consultation with your adviser, we invite you to design a self-initiated major that’s perfect for you.

Information Technology

Information Technology (IT) is here to help you with any issues you may have with wireless connectivity, campus computer labs, printing on campus, or logging in to your Stephens accounts, including email, Canvas, the Gateway, and more.

IT also maintains a collection of devices such as cameras and lighting kits for check-out to students enrolled in specific classes.

IT is available 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday to answer any concerns or address student needs.
