Admission Requirements

Declare your program of study (see Enrollment Services and Information ). There are no special admission or application requirements for the Psychological Science major.

General Education

Refer to Degree Requirements for Bachelor of Science requirements. Two Psychological Science courses fulfill General Education requirements (PSY 1010 , PSY 2000 ) in the Social Science breadth area and one course also in the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion area (PSY 2000 ). Only PSY 1010  or PSY 2000  may be used to fulfill the Social Science requirement due to the “no duplication” policy in breadth requirements (i.e., courses selected to fulfill General Education requirements must each be from a different program). Students may take PSY 1010  to fulfill the Social Science requirement and PSY 2000  to fulfill the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion requirement as well as major requirements.
