Four-Year Plan

The following is an example of a four-year plan . Students may well have reasons to individualize their programs of study and to modify the order or content of the following curriculum. Students need to consult with their advisors before completing their schedules.

Area of Specialization within the Psychology Major: Disaster Response

Students completing the Psychology Major with the Area of Specialization in Disaster Response must complete the 18 hours described below for the Disaster Response Minor, as well as the requirements of the Psychology Major.  Because PSYC 255 Introduction to Disaster and PSYC 359 Practicum in Disaster Response are required for the Area of Specialization but do not count toward the Psychology Major, a minimum of 37 hours is required to fulfill both the Psychology Major and the Area of Concentration in Disaster Response.  Students in the Disaster Response Area of Specialization within the Psychology Major are required to maintain a “B” average in the disaster courses and must successfully complete a capstone exercise and a problem solving assessment similar to those required for the Disaster Response Minor.  Students who pursue the Area of Specialization in Disaster Response still need to select a minor, just as is the case with the regular Psychology Major.
