Psychology Major Pathways
The following flowchart provides guidance for psychology majors who may want to focus their experience as they complete their coursework to earn a Bachelor of Science degree; however, the flowchart merely suggests paths of study. Following one of these paths is not required, nor is taking all the courses in a path. Also, the courses in each path are not guaranteed to be offered, such that the path can be completed in the suggested order. There is no certification or degree annotation associated with completing any of the paths. Furthermore, the flowchart does not include all major/minor requirements, which are detailed in the Psychology Major and/or Neuroscience Minor brochures, as well as the University Academic Catalog.
