2012-2014 Undergraduate Catalog

Biology/Psychology Comprehensive Major, 66-69 hours: B.S.—No Minor Required

CIP: 422706

This major allows students to complete individual programs of study arranged by advisors in both the Department of Natural Sciences and the Department of Behavioral Sciences. While requiring students to complete half their class work as advised by each department, the number of elective hours gives this 66-69 hour program of study flexibility that allows students to tailor the major to their individual and specific academic needs. This program provides interdisciplinary training for a future career and/or graduate level training in psychology, biology, allied health or related fields. Students are urged to see advisors in both departments at an early date to contract a program of study.
