How to Declare
1. Select a potential Faculty Advisor
Only faculty members with appointments in Psychology are eligible (this does not include courtesy appointments)
Make a selection from the list of active faculty. When choosing your advisor:
-
Think of Psychology faculty members that have taught classes you have taken and enjoyed
-
Consider your Psychology interests and select an advisor based on his/her research (read through faculty profiles or search for faculty by research area)
-
Talk to your fellow Psychology major friends
4. Fill out the Major Declaration Form prior to meeting with your potential advisor
