Psychology Major
If you are considering selecting Psychology as a major, there are certain
steps you must follow to successfully earn an Associate of Arts in Psychology.
- Select and meet with an advisor in the Psychology Department. Be sure
to inform the Academic Advising Office (Dr. Doug DeVoll, x7341) of your
choice.
- With your advisor, review the general education and program (psychology)
courses as listed on your advising form.
- Be sure that both you and your advisor have signed the advising form.
Once this is completed, the form must be submitted to the Academic Advising
Office, in Student Services Center, for processing.
- Continue to meet with your advisor as needed to discuss questions about
courses and the successful completion of your degree.
If you are planning to transfer to a 4-year institution to continue

of your choice and can guide you through the admissions process to obtaining
a Bachelor's degree.
