Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (Honors Program)Admission into the Psychology Honors Program: At the conclusion of the sophomore year, students are invited to apply for honors track in the Psychology degree program. Applicants must submit a letter of intention, a letter of reference from instructors outside of the Department of Teacher Education and Family Studies, a degree audit indicating a cumulative GPA of 2.5 overall and 3.0 in courses within the major (non-general education). Upon review of these materials, the student may be invited by the faculty of the Department of Teacher Education and Family Studies to enroll in the honors program. At the end of the Junior year, students will be reassessed, and only those who have retained their 3.0 G.P.A. in the major will be invited to continue in the honors program. Those who successfully complete PSYC4902 will graduate with "distinction in Psychology." This sample curriculum illustrates how a student might progress through the program. Course sequence may vary as long as prerequisites are met. Freshman Year
