Academic Advisors have been needed for as long as there have been higher education institutions. America established its first collegiate institutions in the eighteenth century. It was during the nineteenth century “Faculty within specialized curricula took charge of guiding students to the classes they needed” (Gillespie, 2003).

The needs of students have changed and expanded drastically from when America 's first colleges were established.
