What courses are required for a Major or Minor in Psychology?
In order to Major or Minor in Psychology, there are certain lower-division courses (100- and 200-level) you must take, but you have a lot of choices as to which upper-division courses (300- and 400-level) to take to fulfill the required number of credit hours. As a Psychology Major, you’ll receive a good grounding in the basics of psychology, taking courses that emphasize the development of skills and abilities (e.g., research methods and statistics) while also accumulating a solid knowledge base in the various subdisciplines of Psychology (e.g., Developmental, Social). Visit our Student Handbook for a list of Major/Minor requirements, along with a description of courses.
