Psychology BA

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

Students should consult with the advisor when they declare a psychology major, which must be done once they have completed 60 semester hours of course work. Psychology BA major requirements include at least 37 and not more than 48 semester hours in psychology. Of these, at least 15 hours must be in upper-division courses completed at the Downtown Campus. No grade below C (2.0) will be accepted toward the major requirements. Note that a prior college-level algebra course is strongly recommended for PSYC 2090.

PSYC 3939, Internship/Cooperative Education, does NOT count toward the 37-hour minimum or the 15-hour upper-division requirement, but it does count as elective psychology credit.
