Declaring a Psychology Degree
- Advising Note: To see the current classes taught by Psychology, please click here and scroll to the bottom of the page.
- All teaching majors should obtain a current copy of "Compass". This guide to teacher education requirements is available in the Education Advising Center SEC. 189.
- Students who wish to declare psychology as a major or minor, including the teaching programs, must have completed 9 hours of psychology courses (numbers 400:xxx) with a minimum GPA of at least 2.50. Students not meeting this requirement may discuss their special situation with the department head who may waive the requirement in extraordinary circumstances. All transfer students must have permission of the department head in order to declare a major or minor.
- Only courses with an earned grade of at least a C- will count toward the majors and minors.
- It is possible for psychology majors to graduate with departmental honors provided they have an overall GPA of at least 3.50 and complete a research project deemed worthy of honors by the department. Generally such a project is done in the context of 3 hours of 400:193, Research Experience in Psychology.
- Introduction to Psychology (400:001) is a prerequisite for all other psychology courses, and therefore must be taken by all majors and minors. It also counts as a Liberal Arts Core requirement.
