THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INSTITUTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS AND THE ORGANIZATION OF ADVISING SERVICES
In spite of the recognized need for studying the organizational framework of advising programs, there is a paucity of literature regarding this topic. Here, the authors identify and explain seven major organizational models for academic advising programs: 1) faculty-only, 2) supplementary, 3) split advising, 4) dual advising, 5) total intake, 6) satellite, and 7) self-contained. Their study provides both an initial understanding of these models and a framework for further research on the effectiveness of each.
