Advising within Theatre
When you declare a major in Theatre, you will be assigned to an individual faculty advisor who 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, summer work and other opportunities
- Navigating the Four Year Plan
- Career ideas and opportunities
As a theatre minor or theatre education concentrator, the program offers the student the same advising experience. If you have not been assigned to a faculty member for advising purposes, please contact the Director of the Program in Theatre for a formal assignment.
Remember, it is the student’s responsibility to schedule and attend advising meeting.
Structure of Advising within the Department of Theatre
