Policies

PSYCH 1001 Introduction to Psychology is a prerequisite for most other psychology courses, and must be taken by all psychology majors and minors. It also counts as a UNIFI/General Education requirement.

Only courses with an earned grade of at least a C- will count toward major, minors, and program certificates.

It is possible for psychology majors to graduate with departmental honors provided they have an overall GPA of at least 3.00, a psychology GPA of at least 3.50, and complete a research project deemed worthy of honors by the department. Generally such a project is done in the context of 3 hours of PSYCH 4705/5705 Research Experience in Psychology.
