Curriculum and Degree Requirements for Psychology
Majors
Students majoring in psychology may
earn either the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or
Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree. The psychology
course requirements for the two degrees are
identical; the two degree plans differ with
respect to the requirements in other disciplines.
For example, the B.A. degree requires courses
in a foreign language and extra humanities
hours, whereas the B.S. degree requires additional
hours in the physical and biological sciences.
The two degrees are offered to allow students
to complete their non-psychology course of
study in fields most relevant to their interests
and/or career plans. Both degrees provide
students with the necessary curriculum requirements
to pursue graduate study in psychology, as
well as in other professional fields, such
as law and medicine. Students who qualify
for the University Honors Program should contact
the Department of Psychology Advising Office
(Rm. 244 in Psychology Bldg.) about the department's
own honors program, which places emphasis
on small classes and independent research
experience.
