Bachelor of Science Option (BS Degree instead of BA in PSYC)

 

Students who wish to pursue the Bachelor of Science degree (B.S.) must complete at least 5 courses/17 credits in mathematics and science.  Courses used to satisfy the math/science supporting course sequence, required of all psychology majors, (list A, given below) may be used to satisfy the requirement for the B.S. degree.  Please note, however, that all B.S. candidates must complete at least three advanced courses (list B, given below) and at least two lab courses.  Use the B.S. checklist on the next page to plan the way you will satisfy these requirements and consult with an advisor if you have any questions.

BSCI 105, 106

CHEM 131/132 (formerly CHEM 103), 113

NOTE:

1.       These lists are subject to change.  We strongly recommend that you ask a psychology advisor to review the way you plan to satisfy the B.S. requirements and that a notation be made in your file.

 

2.       A GPA of 2.0 or higher must be obtained in the 17 credit supporting sequence.  For example, a grade of “D” may be counted towards the B.S. as long as the student has higher grades (“B” or better) in other classes to compensate for the “D.”

 

3.       Advanced math/science courses taken to fulfill the B.S. requirements may not be used to satisfy the CORE Advanced Studies requirement.

 

4.       You may not count a 300 or 400 level Advanced Science course used to fulfill the B.S. requirement in Psyc. towards your Advanced Studies Requirement for CORE.
