MTSU Department of Psychology
List of Faculty Advisors
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.
