Academic Advisement Academies
Kingsborough's Advising Academies are supportive environments that guide students through academic goal setting and decision-making processes. Each Academy is associated with specific academic programs. Our advisors assist students with exploring and interacting with their chosen major and career paths in thoughtful and purposeful ways. Students are paired with an academy advisor who is dedicated to providing guidance on major exploration, degree requirements, career and transfer planning, and making connections to campus resources. There are four Academic Advisement Academies, which include the Business Academy, Education and Justice Academy, Health Sciences and STEM Academy, and Liberal Arts and Humanities Academy.
