Reflecting the breadth of psychology and the variety of ways you can study psychology within the concentration, the department provides concentrators with a number of individuals who can help you design the most fulfilling course of study possible.

As a pre-concentrator, when exploring Psychology as a concentration you will meet with the Psychology Concentration Advisor in your house or an Undergraduate Office Advisor. The Concentration Advisor will help you fill out the paperwork to join the concentration and, once you have joined, will sign your study card and help you meet the specific requirements of the concentration. Once you join the concentration, this person will become your permanent Concentration Advisor, and you may also choose to be matched with a Faculty Mentor who will provide strategic advice about the discipline and your interests within it, research and other opportunities, and graduate study.

In addition to the Concentration Advisor in your house, you are welcome to stop by to talk to one of our Assistant Head Tutors, who are available in WJH 218 for walk-in advising. Former Assistant Head Tutor Lauren Conoscenti has also prepared a comprehensive FAQs page for students considering joining the concentration.

The Psychology Undergraduate Office provides support for the concentration's programs, Head Tutor, Assistant Head Tutors, Concentration Advisors, and students.

Finally, FAS maintains a resource rich Advising Programs Office for non-concentration specific advising issues.
