Advising
At Bennington you work closely with a faculty member from one of your areas of interest to design, structure, and enact your Plan. Through one-on-one sessions with your faculty advisor, group advising in First Year Forum, and structured meetings with your faculty Plan committee, your teachers will guide you through your academic life, recommending courses, and what kind of opportunities you should look for a Field Work Term. They help you discover how your intellectual interests and professional ambitions might shape an education of depth, breadth, and rigor. They guide your progress to ensure that your Plan is challenging, academically sound, and significant.
