Theatre and Dance Advising practices

General Advising Practices

The Theatre and Dance Department welcomes all new and returning students to a picnic the Sunday before Fall classes start, during which we announce the season and any academic news.

Due to the nature of our discipline, we work closely with students in the mounting of productions and projects and therefore, advising is an on-going process. Advising students to achieve their academic, career, and personal goals often happens outside the regular course selection period.

A few weeks before course selection starts, we hold a mass advising session. During this meeting, we assign advisors to new students and complete Declaration of Major forms.

Students are assigned to a faculty member in their field of interest.

Theatre and Dance Majors share a common core
