Major Advising

Given the richness of choice available within the Humanities Major, careful advising is essential. Each student develops an individual program of study under the supervision of the Humanities Undergraduate Advisor. Frequent consultations with the Undergraduate Advisor are therefore strongly encouraged.

Prospective majors should meet with the Humanities Undergraduate Advisor to discuss the opportunities offered by the Humanities Major and the ways in which courses already taken might fit into the major.

Majors are encouraged to use the Humanities Major Coursework Planning Worksheet to help them keep track of requirements.

Although drop-in advising is allowed during slow times, appointments with the advisor are always encouraged.

Shirley Carnahan, Humanities Undergraduate Advisor, can be reached via email to schedule appointments at Shirley.Carnahan@Colorado.edu or by phone at 303-492-5444. Her office hours are also available online.

In addition to meeting with the department's undergraduate advisor, students are encouraged to seek out Humanities faculty for advice and guidance on specific areas of interest they may have as well for advice concerning preparation for graduate study. Students who are interested in graduate study in Comparative Literature should contact the Director of Graduate Studies.
