Dear PSYC Major:

This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule for 'Face to Face' psychology students only (online students should go to the Online Major page). The milestones listed below each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. Two sample schedules are provided as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term.  The elective courses must be selected with your advisor to satisfy all Georgia requirements, the core curriculum, required lab sciences, and any multicultural requirements.

A major in psychology is not only an exciting and popular undergraduate major or minor at 麻豆社 State University and around the country, but it is also one of the most useful. Undergraduate psychology training assists in preparing students for a number of career alternatives in government, business, industry, etc., that do not require more advanced training. It also assists in preparing students for professional or graduate school in psychology, law, physical or occupational therapy, social work, business, education, and other areas.

All Psychology majors complete the core curriculum, Areas A-F, with area F being specific to Psychology. Upon acceptance into the program, students then follow a schedule of their major classes during their junior and senior years. Upon graduation, they receive a BS in Psychology.

Year 1 (Face to Face students only, online students please see the online course rotation schedule here.)
