Psychology Major - Curriculum & Duration
This program provides a multidisciplinary and inquiry-based approach to learning about psychology. The courses in the first year and early in the second year expose students to broad areas of knowledge in the humanities, mathematics, writing, and sciences. Foundational psychology courses and our orientation course focus on establishing a knowledge base upon which you can begin to use an inquiry-based project to learn how research gets done in psychology. You are encouraged to develop minors and concentration areas that compliment your major.
The following is a typical curriculum for psychology students entering University of the Sciences in Fall 2020; current students should refer to their academic advisor for their curricula.
