Two PSYC elective courses – eight credits (Students may choose any courses from the psychology curriculum or COME 352 Media Psychology. Four credits of PSYC 395, PSYC 490, or PSYC 492 [separately or combined] can count as one psychology elective; however, no more than four psychology elective credits may be completed from PSYC 490, PSYC 492, or a combination of the three. In other words, two credits total from PSYC 395, PSYC 490, or PSYC 492 does not quality as a psychology elective.) (PSYC 193 does not qualify as a psychology elective.)
