The Psychology Advising Center at Penn State's University Park campus provides a variety of advising and related services to undergraduate majors and minors in psychology. Students at other Penn State locations considering the University Park psychology major, or students considering attending Penn State as psychology majors, are also welcome to contact the Advising Center. Our advising philosophy is to provide information and assistance to students as they navigate the sometimes complex environment of a large university like Penn State, and to provide resources and guidance for students exploring the field of psychology and possible careers in psychology. Our goal is to equip students to make and take responsibility for their own decisions as they do this. Please call 863- 1811 to schedule an appointment.
Every appointment is scheduled for a half -hour unless otherwise scheduled.
If you must cancel an appointment, please call the office as soon as you know you will be unable to attend. You should expect that an advisor can spend only 5 to 10 minutes with you during a walk-in meeting. The Center makes every effort to meet with students our reality is that there are over a thousand of you and only a few of us . So, you may have to wait up to two weeks for an appointment, especially at busy times of the semester . So, please, plan ahead, call early, and write down your appointment date and time.
