Psychology

The Department offers a general major course of study and two minor courses of study (psychology and women’s and gender studies). The program entails completion of a core set of psychology requirements and one allied course. The core courses include general psychology, explorations in psychology, research methods and data analysis, the senior capstone, and the junior experience. The junior experience courses emphasize a more hands-on approach to the study of psychology, and provide students with an high impact experience in the field that will transfer to post-graduate opportunities for employment and/or further graduate study. Beyond the core courses, majors are expected to choose five additional psychology courses, depending on personal interest, from two separate categories, with at least one chosen from each category. However, no more than 48 semester hours in psychology can be applied toward graduation.
