Planning Recommendations:
- Statistics (PSYC 290) should be taken during
the sophomore year. Statistics must be taken before Research
Methods (PSYC 295).
- Psychology majors must take multiple courses from three clusters (A, B, and C) and four of the required courses must be at the 300-level or above. Please read more on the “General Information” tab above and consult with your psychology advisor for the exact courses that meet your professional needs.
