Advising Course Plan - Psychology Major Option 4

What follows is an example three-year plan for students bringing in NO courses required for the major but needing to complete the major in three years. (Example: change of major to Psychology after the first year of study). Other plans will work, too. It is critical, however, that with this plan, by the end of the first year as a Psychology major, you have successfully completed PSYC 101S, MATH 125Q, PSYC 203, at least one PSYC Elective, and BIOL 121P. It is also critical that you start the research sequence of courses (PSYC 306Q, PSYC 498, and PSYC 499) sometime during the junior year. These courses must be taken sequentially.

This plan assumes that the student has not taken any courses for the major prior to the first semester shown in the plan but has already completed 32 credits (8 units) that can be applied to the B.S. degree.
