MAJOR IN PSYCHOLOGY (Bachelor of Arts)The psychology curriculum is sufficiently flexible to meet the needs of students preparing for a wide range of careers in the behavioral sciences or in related professions that involve working with people. Primary emphasis is placed on the applied dynamics of human behavior and relationships rather than on animal or laboratory psychology.The major requirements and cognate courses are intended to provide a scientific base on which a balanced program of electives may be built in accordance with the individual needs and interests of each student. Although specific requirements for admission to graduate programs in most universities will be met by the general major, the student should realize that his graduate work may be impeded or prolonged in certain areas of psychology if special preparation is not obtained at the undergraduate level. For this reason, students who plan to continue academic work in psychology beyond the bachelor's degree are urged to consult with their advisers very early in their college careers. A student majoring in psychology must complete 45 quarter hours in the major, the required cognates, the general studies program, and all baccalaureate degree requirements as outlined in this bulletin. Senior students are required to take the Major Field Test in Psychology. Major Requirements:
Cognates: A minimum of 19 quarter hours must be completed, including MATH 206, Applied Statistics, or a more advanced statistics course. An entire course sequence must be taken in at least one area. Courses should be chosen from the following with approval of department adviser (advanced courses may be substituted):
