1. To declare a psychology major or minor, you must first visit the Office of the Registrar's website and download the checklist to assure that all requirements are understood:    Major Checklist (pdf) or Minor Checklist (pdf) and the Declaration Form.

 2. Complete the Declaration pdf form by using a computer.  You must type your information (DO NOT write on the form) and submit your completed Declaration Form via email to the Undergraduate Advising Head, Professor Ellen Wright <ejwright@brandeis.edu>.

 3. Meet with Professor Wright during her office hours to go over your courses.  This can either be done at her office or online.

 4. Once the declaration is signed, you will be assigned a faculty advisor from whom general advice about courses or career plans is best attained. In addition, the psychology undergraduate advising head is available for consultation.
