Undergraduate Major
The Bachelor of Science program in Psychology aims to provide a general background for career and/or advanced studies in fields which presuppose understanding of human behavior, such as clinical/counseling psychology, industrial-organizational psychology, medicine, education, social work, and law.
Students who major in psychology are required to complete an introductory course and 44 semester hours in upper division courses in psychology. Students also complete the Core Curriculum, as required by the University. Please review the suggested block schedule for majors. Students should also discuss their career aspirations and elective choices with their faculty advisor. Students must maintain contact with a departmental advisor each semester to aid in course selection, planning, and scheduling.
The following only affects students who started Fall 2024 or later. Psychology majors should maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.75. Students whose cumulative GPA drops below 2.75 will have 2 semesters to get it back above the 2.75 threshold; if they fail to do so, they will have to change majors. Before switching to a PSYC major, students must have taken at least 1 PSYC course or have AP PSYC credit and have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.75.
Students interested in adding the PSYC Major to their degree plan should contact:
