Academic Support
A Community Tailored for Your Success
At the Ritchie School we are always working to help our students succeed. We recognize highly technical programs like engineering and computer science require a unique level of support and guidance and we have that for you!
Faculty Advisors
Work one-on-one with a professor who understands your curriculum requirements and potential challenges. This faculty-student partnership creates a foundation for support to help you thrive.
Graduate Teaching Assistants
Not only do you have access to your faculty adviser, but graduate teaching assistants are also available to answer question and keep you on the right path. Our GTAs provide at least 30 hours of tutoring availability every week.
Student Clubs
Student clubs are a great way to meet new friends on a similar academic path as you. With over 10 clubs that call the Ritchie School home, you're likely to find a club or two that is right for you. The clubs are a great way to socialize and many arrange study nights as well.
