Advising
As a major in English, you'll work with a professional advisor and a faculty mentor who are highly invested in your success.
Advisors assist students in preparing their enrollment schedules, in adjusting to the demands of university life, in planning for post-graduate careers, and in sharpening their skills.
Meet with your advisor every semester to discuss not only your enrollment, but also your dreams for the future and tactics for getting there. Your advisor can also help you navigate university bureaucracy, identify academic and personal goals, and strategize about academic or personal problems.
Faculty mentors serve as an additional resource to connect you with other faculty and resources, such as the Writing Center and Chapman Center. Faculty mentors can assist in the selection of upper-level courses, applied learning opportunities (internships, research), and career planning/professional development
Once you've declared your program, you'll be assigned an advisor.
After completing 30 credits, you'll be assigned to one of our faculty mentors.
If you have trouble of any kind connecting with your advisor or your faculty mentor, please email us at english@ksu.edu.
