Do I have to maintain a minimum grade point average (GPA) in psychology to graduate?
Yes. The minimum GPA is 2.0. Under the new requirements, it is computed on the basis of your grades in the required psychology major courses, ABOVE the 100 level, including Statistics (PSYCH 248), Experimental (PSYCH 249 or 250), at least one course in each of the following areas: Applications of Psychology, Biopsychology, Cognitive Processes, and Developmental/Social Psychology (with at least 6 of these credits at or above the 300-level, according to the new numbering system), and 6 additional elective credits (at least at the 200-level) which total 26 credits. Although a course may meet the requirements for more than one area, the same course may not be applied to more than one area. If you have additional psychology electives, the GPA will be computed using the courses with the highest grades that satisfy the requirements. Courses to be used for the major may NOT be taken on a CR/NCR basis or on permit.
