Academic Advising

At New England Conservatory, the Academic Advisors provide academic counseling for students enrolled in the Undergraduate Diploma, Bachelor of Music, Master of Music, and Graduate Diploma programs. They help students select courses, meet educational and career goals, remedy academic difficulties, and better understand NEC's purposes and policies.

The Director of the D.M.A. program provides curricular advising for students in the doctoral program.
