Bachelor of Arts - old curriculum
Major: Psychology
Starting September 1, 2004, the psychology curriculum has changed. We have changed the major and minor requirements and some of the course numbers. You need to know whether you should continue to follow the OLD curriculum or if you should follow the NEW curriculum.
You should follow the OLD curriculum if you:
- matriculated (started) at UDel PRIOR TO Fall, 2004, AND
- declared the psychology major any time BEFORE September 1, 2004
If not, please follow the new curriculum.
Major Requirements - old curriculum
You need a C- in each course to earn major credit.

Credit for the lower (e.g., PSYC 325) and higher (PSYC 350) level versions of these courses may not both be counted toward the 30 credit major. Both versions may be counted toward the 124 credits for the B.A., but if both are taken only credit for the lower numbered version will count toward the major.
FOR EXAMPLE:
If PSYC 325 is taken, PSYC 350 cannot count towards the major.
If PSYC 301 is taken, PSYC 370 cannot count towards the major.
If PSYC 334 is taken, PSYC 380 cannot count towards the major.
If PSYC 303 is taken, PSYC 390 cannot count towards the major.
