Curriculum

The Psychology curriculum begins with PC 101 General Psychology, a course that introduces students to the various areas within the field. General Pysch exposes students to the terminology, theories and methods that are part of psychology today. PC 101 is a prerequisite for all other courses in the Department except PC 261.

After the completion of General Psychology, students are able to enroll in all 200 level courses and most 300 level courses. It is recommended that 200 level courses be taken before 300 level courses, though that is not a requirement. The 400 level courses are geared for students who have a solid background in the field and are usually taken during the Junior and Senior years.

It is generally recommended that PC 261 Introduction to Statistics and PC 271 Research Methods in Psychology be completed by the end of the first semester of the Junior year. It is also advisable to, if possible, take PC 261 and PC 271 in consecutive semesters.
