Undergraduate Major

The Department of Psychology emphasizes the scientific study of behavior. The Psychology department offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology which requires the successful completion of ten courses in Psychology.

Declaring the major

Students must declare their major at least three weeks prior to Pre-registration in order to receive priority in psychology courses. Students wishing to declare a major in Psychology may do so by going to the departmental office, Room 202 in the Psychology Building , and completing the required paperwork. Declarations will not be accepted during the Pre-registration period. Students declaring a psychology major will be required to maintain a “C” average (2.0) in their major and pass all courses with a “D” or better for them to count towards the major requirements. Courses taken to meet the requirements for the B.A. in Psychology may not be taken under the S/U option.

Declared majors will be put on the undergraduate email list. Please read this information very carefully; students will be held responsible for information sent via email. The Uni-psycle, a weekly newsletter, will be sent to you to keep you up to date on deadlines, opportunities, and requirements.
