Major Study Requirements
Students wanting an introduction to psychology should take
PSY 105. Students should then take multiple 200-level
courses before registering for more advanced courses. In
arranging their programs, students should be guided by
the numbering system. The first number indicates the level
at which the material will be taught as well as the level of
the prerequisites or corequisites for a course. The second
number indicates the area within psychology with which the
course is primarily concerned. The code is as follows: 0 and
1–general and quantitative psychology; 2–developmental
psychology; 3–clinical/personality psychology; 4–behavioral
neuroscience/brain-behavior relations; 5–special topics in
psychology; 6–psychology of learning and cognition; 7–social
psychology; 9–individual research and honors seminars. The
third number has no systematic meaning. Although the prerequisites
for any course may be waived by permission of the
instructor, it is strongly advised that students take the prerequisites
in order to be adequately prepared for the course.
Acceptance of any transferred credits toward a major or
minor in psychology must be approved by the Associate
Chairperson for Undergraduate Education.
Bachelor of Arts
To obtain a B.A. in Psychology a student must satisfactorily
complete (i.e., a grade of C or better) 36 credit hours
in Psychology (35 credit hours if an upper-division lab is
taken. See item 6 below) and should minor in an Arts and
Sciences department. The 36 credit hours of Psychology
should include:
1. PSY 105 (3 credits)
2. PSY 200 (3 credits)
3. Four courses (12 credits) selected from our five 200
level core courses: PSY 220, PSY 240, PSY 260, PSY
265 and PSY 271
4. PSY 302 (3 credits)
5. Four courses at the 300 level or above (12 credits)
6. One psychology elective (3 credits). Students are
encouraged but not required to take an upper-division
lab as an elective (2 credits).
Bachelor of Science
Same as B.A. with the following two exceptions:
1. The student must complete a minor in, or distributed
among, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science,
Mathematics, Statistics, Physics or Anthropology
(Biological or Human Evolutionary Ecology
Concentration).
2. The student must take an upper-division psychology
lab.
For a distributed minor with a B.A. or B.S., the student must
take at least one upper-division course in each of two or
more areas and a total minimum of 30 hours. Distributed
minors must be approved by the Associate Chairperson
for Undergraduate Education. See Department Advisor for
details.
Minor Study Requirements
Fifteen hours beyond general psychology (PSY 105). One
quarter of Psychology hours must be taken while in residence
at the University of New Mexico.
Departmental Honors
Superior sophomore students, especially those anticipating
graduate study in psychology or interested in research training,
are invited to apply for admission to the Undergraduate
Honors Program to begin in the Fall semester of the junior
year. Students participating in this program are eligible to
graduate with departmental honors if recommended by the
faculty on the basis of outstanding performance.
The Honors major requires 33 hours beyond 3 hours of general
psychology, including 200, 302, 391, 392, 491, 492 and
four courses from the five 200-level core courses. The usual
requirement of an upper-division lab for B.S. majors is waived
for honors majors.
NOTE: Students enrolling in PSY 391, Junior Honors
Seminar, must have taken PSY 200 and either PSY
260 or 265 as prerequisites and PSY 302 as a prerequisite
or corequisite.
