What courses count towards the 38 credits required for the psychology major?
Only psychology courses may be counted towards the 38 credits required for the psychology major. All psychology courses include the letters “PSY” in the course number (e.g., BPSY 344, MPSY 214, or SPSY 303). Courses with other disciplinary designations (e.g., AHST or MSWK) will not count towards the 38 credits required for the psychology major even though the word “psychology” may appear in the course title (e.g. AHST 269, Psychohistory, counts towards the history major, but it may not be used as one of the courses required for the psychology major). If you are transferring courses from another college, courses designated with another discipline such EDUC 214, HUM REL 303, or SWK 344 will not count towards fulfillment of requirements for the psychology major. The reason for this rule is that a “Psychology of Learning” course taught in an education program is likely to cover different material from a “Psychology of Learning” course taught for psychology majors in a psychology program.
