Areas of Interest and Faculty Advisors
Department of Psychology
It is a good idea to select a faculty advisor from the area of psychology that is of most interest to you. If you are undecided on an area of interest, you can choose any faculty member in the department as your advisor. For example, you may choose a faculty member you liked as an instructor. You may always feel free to seek advisement from the Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies, Professor Hannula (hannula@uwm.edu).
Areas of Interest
- General: Take a broad range of courses on any topic in psychology (any faculty member would be appropriate)
- Neuroscience: role of the brain in behavior
- Health Psychology: relationships between psychological/behavioral factors and physical health and illness
- Mental Health/Professional: introduction to clinical or counseling psychology (psychological disorders, assessment and treatment)
