Rotation of Undergraduate Psychology Courses

The following rotation of undergraduate psychology courses should be considered somewhat tentative for two reasons.

· New curricula with greater differentiation for the BA and BS degree programs was phased in during the 2004-05 academic year. Until the numbers of students in the two degree programs achieves some degree of stability, the student demand for courses specific to one or the other program, e.g., Senior Research, cannot be determined.

· Recent faculty retirements have had some effect on which elective courses are offered on a regular basis.

The following courses are typically offered every fall and spring semester:
PSYC 1101 Introduction to Psychology
PSYC 2210 Careers in Psychology
PSYC 3141 Research Methods
