*Students who earn a 5 on the AP Psychology Text can choose to apply PSYC 193 here; alternately, students can apply PSYC 193 to their general credits and still take PSYC 100.

Two PSYC elective courses – eight credits (Students may choose any courses from the psychology curriculum or COME 352 Media Psychology. Four credits of PSYC 395, PSYC 490, or PSYC 492 [separately or combined] can count as one psychology elective; however, no more than four psychology elective credits may be completed from PSYC 490, PSYC 492, or a combination of the three. In other words, two credits total from PSYC 395, PSYC 490, or PSYC 492 does not quality as a psychology elective.) (PSYC 193 does not qualify as a psychology elective.)
