Please visit the F.U.T.U.R.E.S. web page for further information about advising. The Marketing Faculty take the position that all students are ultimately responsible for reading the ODU catalog, attending Block Parties, and seeking out advisors if any questions arise. ODU catalogs can be obtained from the University Bookstore in Webb Center. Block Parties are usually held 1-2 weeks prior to registration each semester. Yes, marketing internships do count here.
Block parties accomplish two goals.
First, by attending, your advising block gets removed so that you can register on time. Second, you get to hear the latest and most important information about the marketing curriculum. With catalog changes and such, we use the Block Parties as a way to ensure that students understand what is expected of them in order to graduate. That depends on your interests and career goals. See the table below for a few suggestions on how to select some of your courses.
