Four-Year Plan: Psychology

Sample Four-Year Plan of Study 2019-2020

The following is a sample plan of course requirements to complete the Psychology major in four years or eight semesters.

• Each student’s experience will vary slightly, as this plan does not include transfer work or credit for prior learning (such as Advanced Placement-AP).
• Math, English, and Reading placement is based on the student’s ACT/SAT scores or placement tests.
  • If fundamental courses are required, they should be taken within the first year.

NOTE: Four-year plans assume the student is prepared to take the courses listed. If prerequisites are required, additional semester hours may be required to complete the degree.
