Peer advising provides non-academic advice and personal student perspectives about life and learning at MBKU in an informal way to all students in the first academic year. Peer advising is the student complement to academic advising provided by faculty advisors and Student Services. New students will gain informed student perspective that is based on their Peer Advisor’s personal experience within their program, along with formal training.
Peer Advisors are students in the second academic year who are committed to academic excellence and student leadership. They show strong commitment to helping new students make the transition from undergraduates to informed, successful professional students who will be responsible for their academic goals and professional growth.
Welcome SCCO Class of 2027!
We’re so excited for you to join our family at MBKU! You probably have a million questions racing through your mind before you start school (I know I did). One of the biggest questions I had was how am I ever going to be able to balance school with friends and family. Well I’m here to tell you that it is possible!
Oh no! Classes are about to start, and you're wondering if there are any suitable study spaces on campus. Well, worry not! I'm here to help you explore some potential study spots at MBKU!
Finding the right place to study on campus is crucial as it can significantly enhance your performance. Fortunately, MBKU offers a range of spaces that you can utilize as study areas, and I'll provide a brief description of each location.
Now that you are set to attend the graduate school of your dreams, you may have found yourself listening to the tickling hum of doubt stirring up from your deep thoughts.
Did I deserve a spot in this class? Is becoming an optometrist, or pharmacist, or physician assistant really what I want to do for the rest of my life? Am I making the right choice to invest in these next couple of years of grueling education?
Starting your first year of optometry school, or any school for that matter, can be a bit daunting especially when you do not know anyone… yet!
In this blog post, I will go over a few ways you can make some new friends throughout the year and even connect with some of our great faculty and staff around campus.
When I was preparing to begin my journey at MBKU’s physician assistant program a year ago, one of the things I was most nervous for was the sheer amount of information, lectures, and studying that lie ahead of me.
As an incoming PA student, you’re repeatedly told that “PA school is like drinking from a fire hose”. This is not the most encouraging of images and I wondered if I was equipped to handle the load. It had been a while since I sat down and focused on studying for any extended period.
So, you finally got accepted into graduate school. Congratulations! This marks the beginning of a new chapter of your life.
Hello and welcome to MBKU!
