The Psychology Major′s Handbook

The Psychology Major′s Handbook, 6th Edition combines the functions of an academic advising resource and practical manual to support students throughout their college experience. Authored by Tara L. Kuther and published by SAGE Publications, Inc., this handbook offers structured guidance across higher education milestones.

The volume outlines structured guidance for selecting a major, establishing college study habits, writing academic papers, and planning post-graduation pathways. Three dedicated chapters concentrate on essential writing skills, guiding students through the mechanics of literature review papers and APA Style empirical papers. The final four chapters evaluate post-graduation opportunities, detailing entry-level bachelor's degree careers and advanced graduate degree tracks in psychology.

To facilitate individual implementation, embedded exercises in every chapter prompt learners to apply core advising topics directly to their personal circumstances. This handbook serves as a practical road map for psychology majors seeking academic and career guidance throughout higher education.
