Psychology:
Every psychology major must complete thirty-six semester hours in
psychology, as well as four hours in statistics. In addition to
these forty semester hours, all students must satisfy the independent
learning requirement of eight semester hours. Normally, at least
four hours of independent learning should be in psychology. PSYC
380 Fieldwork in a Psychological Setting is a full-year course that
meets the all-College requirement for independent learning, as do
any two PSYC 350 courses. Alternatively, one course from the upper
level research category may be counted as independent learning,
provided it is followed by related work in PSYC 350.
