Declare a Major or Minor

To learn more about majoring or minoring in psychology or about the courses we offer, contact the Undergraduate Program Assistant in the main psychology department office at psych-advising@u.northwestern.edu.  They can answer questions you might have and you can also set up an appointment with a psychology adviser. 

Steps for Declaring a Major or Minor

  1. Complete either a major declaration form or a minor declaration form.
  2. Email your completed form to psych-advising@u.northwestern.edu.  We will then complete the department portions of the form and send it to the Weinberg College Office of Undergraduate Studies and Advising.  
  3. When the department receives your form, we will contact you to set up a meeting with one of our department advisers.  This advising meeting is the final step in finalizing your declaration of the major or minor.

Students who successfully complete all requirements for the major will earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology.
