Option Representatives

A faculty member serves as the representative for an option. The option representative provides consultation on academic programs, degree requirements, financial aid, etc. and provides general supervision to undergraduate and/or graduate students in the option. A list of current faculty option representatives and their option administrators can be found below. In the cases where there are different reps/admins for the undergraduate and graduate programs, they are indicated by UG and GR, respectively.
