The Phenomenon of Academic Advisor Training at Minnesota State Colleges and Universities: A Quantitative Descriptive Research Study
Leigh, Sara
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Minnesota State University, Mankato
Academic advisors can have a positive impact on the progress of an increasingly diverse student population in higher education, but there is no required professional certification or educational background for academic advisors. The lack of required certification puts the onus for academic advisor training and professional development on the campuses where advisors work. By surveying the professional academic advisors in the Minnesota State higher education system to assess available training and professional development, this quantitative study sought to identify and describe the phenomenon of advisor training within the Minnesota State higher education system. Survey data shows a majority of advisors do receive some training and do have professional development available.
