Requirements

Eight 3 and 4-credit psychology courses are required to fulfill the psychology portion of an interdisciplinary major, specifically:

• PY 101  -  Introductory Psychology
• PY 291  -  Research Methods I (with Lab)
• PY 292  -  Research Methods II (with Lab)
• Four additional PY courses at the 100-level or higher
• One Mastery (PY 400-Level) Course

Notes:

1. Interdisciplinary majors also take a statistics course-ST 110  (for B.A. students only) or ST 210  or ST 265  or EC 220 -as a math core requirement, and BL 105  or BL 152 /BL 153  as one of their core natural science requirements (biology/psychology majors should consult additional course requirements, 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.
2. 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.
