Interdisciplinary Major in Psychology
|
|
Students may choose psychology as one component of an interdisciplinary major.
|
Requirements for the Major
Eight 3 and 4-credit psychology courses and one 1-credit course are required to fulfill the psychology portion of the interdisciplinary major, specifically:
Psychology/Sociology Majors
Psychology/Sociology majors may take SC 342 /SC 383 to fulfill the PY 291 /PY 292 requirement. In this instance, students should select two additional PY courses to fulfill the seven 3-credit (and one 1-credit) course requirement for the interdisciplinary major. Students interested in pursuing a graduate program in psychology are advised to take PY 291 /PY 292 . Those interested in pursuing a graduate program in sociology are advised to take SC 342 /SC 383 .
Notes:
Interdisciplinary majors also take a statistics course-ST 110 (for B.A. students only) or ST 210 or ST 265 -as a math core requirement, and Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology (BL 105 ) or Organismal Biology (BL 121 ) as one of their core natural science requirements (except biology/psychology majors who take a specific set of biology courses, as detailed under Biology). The remainder of the major courses are selected according to the requirements of that discipline, and certain interdisciplinary combinations stipulate courses that must be taken.
The popular combination of biology/psychology is often chosen by those students who would like to eventually pursue medical school, graduate school in health psychology, or a career in research (see requirements under Biology ).
