Program of Study
The requirements of the Bachelor of Arts in psychology, together with the
department's broad range of course offerings, allow students to tailor programs
specifically to their own talents and goals. The program may serve as
preparation for graduate work in psychology or in related fields such as
sociology, anthropology, linguistics, or the communication and information
sciences. Courses in psychology are also suitable for biological sciences
concentrators interested in the relations between physiology, mind, and
behavior, and for mathematics concentrators interested in the applications of
quantitative methods. Those who foresee a profession in law, public health,
urban planning, personnel management, social work, education, or journalism
will also find the program of considerable value. Finally, psychology may
interest students who are still focusing their career goals and are considering
the social sciences or a public service profession. Because research experience
and contact with faculty are important requisites for professional development,
students who plan to pursue a career in psychology are advised to contact a
compatible faculty member by the end of their third year, with a view toward
consultation and joint research.
Program Requirements
Eleven courses are required for the concentration. Up to three of these may be
reading and research courses. With the exception of the reading and research
courses, all of the others require a letter grade.
