Academic advising incorporates both (1) generalized assistance and guidance given to undergraduate and graduate students in fulfilling their individual course work and degree requirements, and (2) more sophisticated, intellectual direction and mentoring provided for students who undertake independent studies, honors theses, and graduate projects.  The fundamental purpose of academic advising is to assist students in clarifying and meeting their educational and career goals.  The student and faculty member work together as a team; the student should come prepared to advising sessions with specific questions and ideas.

When you declare a major in Greek, Latin, or Classical Civilization, you will receive an email that assigns you to an individual faculty advisor.  That person, a professor in the Department, will provide assistance on the following topics:

• course selection
• fulfilling the requirements of the major
• general distribution and minor requirements within CAS
• planning for off-campus studies, internships, and other opportunities
• navigating the Four-Year Plan
• career ideas and opportunities

All advisors hold regular office hours; please check website to see when s/he is available and to find contact information to arrange an appointment.

Classics minors or students considering a major/minor who would like advice are welcome to make an appointment with the Chair, or to reach out to professors they know in the Department.

Additional Resources for Classics: Careers, Research, Graduate School, etc.

Members of the Classics faculty have a wealth of knowledge to share about the nature of the field, job opportunities available to Classics majors, graduate programs in Classics and related disciplines, and more.  We encourage you to tap into that expertise through consultation with individual faculty members.  We also recommend you join the Goodrich Classical Club, which sponsors regular events, lectures, and socials on campus and where a lot informal peer advising takes place.  You can also find them via the Goodrich Classical Club on Facebook.

The Program in German, Russian  and Hebrew is committed to helping students learn more about their chosen field of study and the opportunities associated with it. As nationally- and internationally-known scholars with successful careers, our faculty members have a wealth of expertise to share about academic work in German or Russian, graduate programs in German, Russian and related disciplines, and more. In addition to consulting individual faculty members about these issues, we strongly encourage you to attend regular events devoted to the following topics:

Students beyond the first year who have a declared major are assigned a faculty advisor within their declared field. Minors in French and Italian who wish to have a minor advisor should contact the program to request one. CAS Student Services can also help with other resources, including advising and support concerning student health, writing and learning skills, general career planning, academic accommodations, and more.
