Fall, 1999 and Spring, 2000 

The Psychology Department at Hunter College has approximately 1000 majors, more than any other department in the College. However, we try to provide you with quality advising and information, and we do make our tremendous resources available to you. These resources include a wealth of information as well as our Advisors, Faculty, Staff, and this Site.  

Whether or not you have met the prerequisite requirements to formally declare your Psychology major, we encourage you to visit the Psychology Advising Office and attend an Orientation Meeting as soon as possible.   Doing so will provide you with access to all of the resources of the Psychology Department, such as Advising, right now.  

We especially invite you to attend the meetings sponsored by the Advising Office each semester. These meetings deal with topics such as an orientation to the Department, requirements for completing the Psychology Major, course planning,  the fields of psychology, careers for BA's and MA's, and applying to graduate school in psychology and related fields such as counseling and social work. Additional meetings are scheduled each semester on other topics of interest to majors. 

The purpose of this site is to provide the basic information needed by Psychology Majors to help you complete the bachelor's degree in psychology. It also tells you where to go for additional help and information. GLANCE THROUGH THE TABLE OF CONTENTS (on the left side of this page) TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT'S HERE. 

Please feel free to stop by the Advising Office for help. We've included a section in this site that describes some of the resources of the Advising Office and the kinds of information we provide.  For simple questions after reading this site, you may e-mail Dr. Tobey Klass, the Faculty Undergraduate Advisor,  at 
         psychadv@shiva.hunter.cuny.edu 

Although the Department is very large, there are numerous opportunities for you to develop research and field work relationships with faculty, and to get involved through the Psychology Club, Psi Chi, and PSYCH-L.  

We look forward to getting to know you and being of help. And, we welcome comments about this site, and suggestions for the future. 

Cordially, 

Vita C. Rabinowitz,     Ph.D.	E. Tobey Klass,    Ph.D.
Associate Professor, and Chair of the Department	Associate Professor, and Undergraduate Faculty Advisor
