Plan Your Curriculum

Regularly meeting with a psychology advisor before each registration period is essential for staying on track with your graduation timeline and completing your major successfully. Required courses must be completed in sequence as prerequisites for subsequent courses (see graphic below). Transfer students or those switching to the psychology major should plan for a minimum of five terms to complete the required course progression. Additionally, all psychology coursework must be completed with a grade of 'C' or better.

Undergraduate Curriculum:

• Psychology Major
• Psychology Minor
• CORE 2.0

PSYX 490R: Undergraduate Research

• PSYX 490R Overview

  • PSYX 490R (Undergraduate Research) offers undergraduate students the opportunity to assist Psychology Department faculty members and graduate students who are conducting research in the area of Psychology. To receive credit for the course, students are required to work three hours per week for every credit taken (e.g., 3 credits = 9 hours per week).

    This course is most successful when both students and faculty benefit from the arrangement. This generally occurs when these two conditions are met: students contribute in a meaningful way to faculty members’ research and faculty members provide students with opportunities to learn specific research skills and reflect on all aspects of research.
