| All
students majoring in Psychology will take a common core
of eight courses for a total of 25 credits. Beyond that
core they will choose at least five elective Psychology
courses, for an additional 15 credits. These courses
will be grouped into one of four emphasis areas: General
Psychology, Educational Psychology, Organizational Behavior,
or Mental Health.
No class
in Psychology with a grade of less than C- will be
accepted toward completion of the major. If a student
receives a grade of less than C- they may repeat the
course. A second failure to achieve a C- or higher
grade automatically leads to a department review to
determine if the student should be allowed to continue
in the major.
