Psychology Academic Advising

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.

What is the difference between a department/academic advisor and a psychology faculty 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 and degree requirements. 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.

The faculty advisor: Effective Fall 2023, a faculty advisor will be assigned to students who     (1) have either just completed or are completing the PSY2000 course (this will be part of the course), (2) students who recently changed their major to psychology and already have 60+ hours, OR (3) new transfer students who already have  60+ hours. 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.

Thus, most students 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.

Faculty advisors are assigned based on a student’s area(s) of interest in psychology. If you are a transfer student or a change of major student, have 60+ hours, and do not have a faculty advisor, you can complete this form or talk with your department/academic advisor: Psychology Advisor Assignment Form. Once a faculty advisor is assigned, students can contact that individual using the information below.
