Admission Requirement

Any freshman or transfer student planning to pursue psychology as a major will be admitted as a pre-psychology student and will work with a psychology advisor to develop a planned program. Admission as a General Psychology major requires that the student complete PSY 1000, PSY 1400, PSY 1401, PSY 1600, and PSY 3000 all with grades of “C” or better.

Transfer students who present appropriate psychology courses will be evaluated and may be admitted on an individual basis directly into the program. Transfer students with no psychology courses will be required to take the relevant courses listed above.

Additional information can be obtained from the departmental office or from a psychology advisor. Students who do not meet admission requirements will be informed of steps they can take to earn admission.
