Since students select a psychology major for a variety of reasons, course offerings are de- signed to provide as much flexibility as possible. There are seven courses required of all students. Students preparing for graduate study in psychology take a broad set of courses in the research and theory of psychology as well as foundational courses in applied areas. Students majoring in psychology as a terminal degree or those preparing for the min- istry or other professional areas may select from both theoretical and applied courses those most suited to their vocational and personal goals.
