This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The Liberal Studies and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area, literature, lab, Gordon Rule, and multicultural requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Offtrack) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.

Psychology is a limited-access major. To be admitted into Psychology, you must have completed at least 52 hours, have earned a “C-“ or better in each of the Admission Prerequisite Courses (PSY2012, a general biology course, & statistics), and have an overall GPA of 2.8.

Psychology uses scientific methods to attempt to understand, predict, and control behavior. The study of human behavior and animal behavior are two broad categories of specialization. Further areas of specialization are possible within each category and can be matched to career aspirations. The undergraduate program offers a broad background in many areas of psychology and is flexible enough for advanced students to specialize in an area of special interest to the student. Qualified students are encouraged to work in the department’s human and animal research labs and to participate in the department’s research on school and clinical problems in applied settings.
