In this article we suggest various ways in which the undergraduate curriculum for psychology students can be improved in developing countries. Suggestions based on the author's experience in the northeast of Brazil include forming psychology clubs, creating community outreach programs, establishing a human subject pool, skills training, developing research-based courses and seeking outside funding.
