^Notes:

^{* You are not required to take Summer or January courses (for which there is no financial aid). You can complete your degree of 124 credits by taking 5 courses each semester. Most courses are 3 credits and four of the required courses for the Psychology Major are 4 credits (PSY 001, PSY 040, PSY 141, PSY 190s).}

^{**Selecting a minor is not required but a minor in a variety of areas can be a good complement to the Psychology Major. Taking a second Major is also an option for those who plan accordingly.}

^{***In addition to going on study abroad for either semester in their third year, students can go for the entire academic year in their third year, for a semester in their second or fourth years, or for a short-term program in the summer or during the January break.}
