The structure of undergraduate advising at private institutions that offer degrees beyond the baccalaureate level is considered. Shared advising models are found to be suitable for highly selective, extensive doctoral institutions with sizeable full-time undergraduate populations and relatively basic programmatic structures. Similar but more programmatically complex institutions with larger full-time undergraduate populations might benefit more from the decentralized satellite model. Smaller, less selective, more residential, liberal arts institutions may find the decentralized faculty-only model most appropriate.
