The Psychology department uses a Shared Model of advising. As a Psychology major you will have two advisors – a faculty member and a professional advisor. Any faculty member in the department can serve as your faculty advisor.
The Psychology Department facilities in University Hall include a psychology lab, a computer lab, graduate assistants’ offices, an observation area fitted with multimedia equipment, and a psychology reading room.
