Advising

Please, see Dr. Burgess (Rogers-Stout 107 : 439-6691)

We have provided a great deal of information on the following pages:

FAQ:  What can I do with a degree in history?
Requirements for a History Major
FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
Sample Schedule: Freshman and Sophmore Years

The advisement process differs from student to student, as each student's record is different. However, some basic things apply:

  • You must complete the Undergraduate core.
  • You must complete a major (in this case, History,
           presumably...).
  • You must complete a minor or a second major.
  • You must take enough electives to reach the minimum number of required hours (120 minimum).

If you are a new student and not transferring any hours to ETSU, you may wish to consult a Sample Schedule, which covers the Freshman and Sophmore years. This is a sample only. You must consult with your advisor prior to registration, each semester until you graduate.

Again, you may find helpful information by consulting FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions. This link will take you to the section dealing with undergraduate information. If you are a transfer student, you can consult the section dealing with questions by transfer students, at FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions, Transfer Students.

The undergraduate advisement process is one of the most important aspects of your time at ETSU. As chairman of the Undergraduate Advisement Review Committee, I am aware of the central role that advising (good or less-than-good) plays in your career, not only during your time at ETSU, but in your future education or occupation.

Therefore, it is vitally necessary that you take an active part in your advisement. No advisor can guarantee that you graduate "on-time", if you personally fail to act responsibility in regard to seeking advisement, asking pertinent questions, and maintaining regular contact with your advisor.
