Students majoring in Psychology are required to take a minimum of 10 psychology courses including 5 Core Courses (including 2 semesters of Junior Psychology Seminar), 1 Theoretical Foundations course, 2 Laboratory/Systems courses, 1 Applications course, 1 Advanced Seminar course, and 1 Research/Internship course. Juniors must attend 2 semesters of the Psychology Seminar. The seminar provides an opportunity for Psychology majors and faculty to exchange ideas about research projects, internships, graduate school, and critical issues in psychology. For those students who desire to continue their education in graduate school, Directed Research and/or Senior Project I/II is strongly recommended.
