Religious Studies Department

Your departmental adviser is considered a "specialist" in your area of study. You should consult with Dr.Talbott on issues related to your major, minor and/or General Education requirements.

Academic advisement is required for all Religious Studies Majors each semester before registering for the next semester. Informal advisement concerning graduate schools, area of interest, and careers may be discussed with any of our full-time faculty.

Here are some questions you might find helpful when meeting with the departmental adviser:

Are there any prerequisites to the courses I'm interested in taking? If so, what are they?

What are the first major courses you suggest I begin with?

Are there times during my academic career when my department expects to see me for consultation about my progress?

What type of careers are available to Religious Studies majors?

What type of resources are available to me? (tutoring, counseling, career planning, study abroad, honors)

RS majors are required to contact Dr. Talbott each semester for advisement before registering for classes. You may email, phone, or schedule an appointment with him before registering for classes.
