Program of Study - Undergraduate
The
Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in psychology requires
a minimum of 37 semester hours in psychology, including General
Psychology. At least 25 of these hours must be at the upper-division
level. The College of Liberal Arts also requires students
in Psychology to take at least 6 hours of a second language.
A primary objective of the psychology program is to provide
the psychology major with a broadly-based education in the
discipline. Therefore, all psychology majors are expected
to complete the required curriculum listed below. Remaining
course work will be selected by the student in consultation
with the faculty advisor and is designed to meet individual
students’ needs and interests. The combination of psychology
with a minor from another area, such as sociology or communications,
often provides more marketable credentials at the bachelor’s
level of training.
A course

is required for admission into all psychology courses beyond
the 1000-level. The student majoring in psychology shall take
