Intentional Advising

The Department of Art + Design, Art History, Art Education practices Intentional Advising. This means that every art, art education, and art history major is required to be advised at least once each term. However, students are encouraged to meet with their adviser throughout the term. Advising is necessary for planning a timely progression through a major and track, to learn about internships and portfolio development, and to gain perspective and knowledge about careers and opportunities. In addition, advisers lift registration holds before enrollment can occur each term.

The Department of Art + Design, Art History, Art Education uses e-mail to contact majors and minors about advising, news and events, registration dates, and other topics. Students must use their Towson University e-mail account to stay current with news and announcements. If students are not receiving e-mails from the art office, they should contact Ginger (Lynne) Ross, at lross@towson.edu.

Freshmen will be assigned a First Year Experience (FYE) adviser in the department. Professors Jocelyn Curtis and Erika Bradford will serve as FYE advisers for 2007-2008. At the end of the second term of the first year, students are assigned an adviser in their major or track by the art department's administrative assistant, Ginger (Lynne) Ross, lross@towson.edu. Students will receive an e-mail with the name and location of their major or track adviser. The adviser will be notified as well.

Transfer students are advised to meet with the department chair, Professor Jean Miller, to review their transcripts and discuss their interests, within the first month of their arrival to Towson University. Transfer students are assigned an adviser in their major or track by Ms. Ross. A transfer meeting for new transfer students is held in September and February.

Students minoring in art are advised by the department chair each term. Appointments can be made by e-mailing the request to jmiller@towson.edu.
