Mission Statement

The mission of the MTSU academic advising process is to provide a quality, student-centered environment that promotes intellectual growth. This process is dedicated to fostering a collaborative and mentoring relationship among advisors, students and the university community. Students are encouraged to think logically, critically and creatively in order to assume ownership of their lifelong educational goals.

Department/academic advisor 

The department/academic advisor: All psychology majors are automatically assigned one of three department/academic advisors. These advisors help students with their course plans and answer questions about coursework, degree requirements, and candidacy. They also guide students through a variety of support services that enable students to make a successful and holistic transition in the MTSU and global community. The objective of academic advising is to help students understand university, college and degree program policies and requirements. Students keep the same department/academic advisor until they graduate.

Psychology faculty advisor

The faculty advisor: A faculty advisor is assigned once students have met the requirements for candidacy and selected an area of interest within the field of psychology. The faculty advisor can address questions related to getting involved in research, career preparation, availability of internships or apprenticeships, course selection, and graduate school preparation.

Students who have achieved candidacy will have both an assigned department/academic advisor and a faculty advisor. Students are encouraged to consult with both advisors, as different advisors serve different purposes and have different areas of expertise.
