Advising<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Becoming a MRST Major or Minor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are interested in declaring a Major (primary or secondary) or Minor in Medieval & Renaissance Studies, we recommend emailing<\/a> and arranging a meeting with Anne-Helene Miller, the Riggsby Director of the Marco Institute for more information about the program. We have also prepared a packet of information for majors or minors to help you plan your coursework for either program, which you can find below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advising for Current Students<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

MRST Primary Majors: Advising is required every semester until you reach 30 credit hours, then every other semester. You can schedule an advising appointment through Vol Academic Connect, available via MyUTK. If you have questions, you can also email our MRST academic advisor Emily Brandel at ebrande1@vols.utk.edu<\/a> or artsciadvising@utk.edu<\/a>, or email marco@utk.edu<\/a> for help. To prepare for your appointment, please review your DARS report\/catalog and have a list of courses you are interested in, as well as questions for your appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MRST Minors and Second Majors: Your advisor from your primary major will be your primary advisor, but you can email the Director or Marco Institute to arrange a time to discuss course availability, studying abroad, future goals within Medieval and Renaissance Studies, or anything else related to the program.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
