Is a fieldwork or independent study research course required of all psychology majors?
Although fieldwork and independent study research courses are highly recommended for psychology majors, they are not a requirement for all psychology majors. Only students majoring in psychology in the School of SSHS are required to complete a fieldwork or an independent study research course; this requirement is part of their school core, not the psychology major. These students may use the same psychology fieldwork or independent study research course to fulfill both their psychology category 6 requirement and their SSHS school core requirement for a fieldwork/independent research course. (This is called “double-counting” as the same course fulfills two different requirements.) Psychology majors in the School of TAS are not required to take a fieldwork or independent study research course; if they do take one of these courses, it will fulfill their requirement for a psychology course from category 6 or a psychology elective. As mentioned above, fieldwork courses are highly recommende
