Effective fall of 2020 - in order to graduate with a major in Psychology, a student must meet the following requirements:
- Earn a 2.50 or above overall GPA.
- Earn a 2.50 or above in all PSY prefix courses required within the major.
As a discipline, psychology has important new discoveries and understanding changing the landscape of the field on a regular basis. Because of this, for students pursuing either a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology, all courses with a PSY prefix cannot be more than 12 years old at the time of graduation with the major. Once a class with PSY is over 12 years old, it will be removed from the degree plan in Degree Works, and students will need to retake the class to satisfy major requirements. Any exception to this policy would require a petition.
