Degree Map


Credits: 124

This degree map works best for students doing the 40 credit BA in Psychology. If you have a minor, you can complete fewer credits in Psychology and replace them with courses for your minor. 

Although not required, we strongly encourage students to take internship, independent research, and/or service learning courses in Psychology.
