- Personalized Advising – As a Preferred Admission student, you receive one-on-one advising from School of Education academic advisors beginning your freshman year, so you can make sound course-taking decisions.
- Opportunity to work with young people – The School of Education will offer links to connect you with community and campus youth programs as you spend your freshman and sophomore years preparing to enter the School of Education
