Is a Success Coach the Same as an Academic Advisor?

Both success coaches and academic advisors are invested in helping students succeed, but their roles are different. Academic advisors play a crucial role in assisting students in exploring their academic interests, finding additional information and support resources, course selection, and crafting study plans that align with their educational objectives. Success coaches help students balance school and life by emphasizing their academic and personal strengths while aiding in overcoming potential challenges.
