Advising

Who is the Psychology advising team?

Our amazing Psychology Advising Team is comprised of highly trained psychology peer advisors and the Student Services Coordinator. Psychology peer advisors are current upper-division psychology majors who have completed a rigorous 100-hour academic advising training program. Psychology Advisors assist the Student Services Coordinator with the academic advising of all Psychology majors, Psychology minors, and Family Studies minors.
