Advisement for Undergraduates

In the psychology department, our goal is to teach students to take responsibility for their own education. We give you the tools and information you need to make smart decisions about your educational journey at UD.

The undergraduate advisement web pages should be the first place you look to answer your psychology advisement questions. We will continually update this page with announcements, requirements, and information about the curriculum.
