Sample Four-Year Plan of Study 2020-2021

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.
