Graduate Advising

Graduate students have a full-time faculty member or graduate program director as their primary faculty advisor. Students at the thesis stage choose a committee chair who gives guidance on the master’s thesis.

Graduate students should talk to advisors about:

• how to complement your requirements with courses outside of your program, including GRAD and IDISC courses.
• cross-disciplinary concentrations like Nature–Culture–Sustainability Studies (NCSS).
• taking a cross-disciplinary elective (studio or seminar) designed specifically for graduate students.
• the Certificate in Collegiate Teaching in Art and Design.
• current opportunities and deadlines for teaching during Wintersession.
