Advisement for MA Students Initial advisement should occur just prior to the beginning of the semester (usually the week of August 15th or for spring entrance January 2nd). As soon as possible, students should seek an advisor from among the faculty in their Area of Concentration. Until the student has found a permanent advisor, he or she should seek advisement from the Director of Graduate Studies. During the first several weeks of the first semester in the program, new M.A. students will meet collectively with the faculty and students in his or her Area of Concentration. After the student has chosen one faculty member from the Area of Concentration to serve as adviser, the adviser will thereafter help the student construct a coherent plan of study according to the regulations of the Graduate College and the structure of the M.A. program. The plan will be prepared by the student and the Adviser, and approved by the Director of Graduate Studies, before enrollment for the second semester. The student's enrollment for the second and subsequent semesters can then be anticipated quite precisely by the student, the Adviser, and the Department's Graduate office. Literary
