The Psychology and Education Major
(Option I with licensure or Option II without licensure)

Option I

Psychology and educational studies majors (both options) should elect the following psychology courses: Psych 100 level, 200, 201, 230, 233, one laboratory at the 300 level, and courses in at least three of the five areas of the psychology curriculum; and the following education courses: Educ 205 or 220, 234, and January Term 324 in the junior year.

In addition, students pursuing Option I (with licensure) should elect Education 300, 325, and 323 in the senior year; and include at least one mathematics course (which may also be counted as a College distribution requirement). Students should also obtain a Field of Knowledge Self Assessment Form from the director of the program to make sure all requirements are covered in the liberal arts courses you are taking.

Option II

Students pursuing Option II (without licensure) must take Educ 324 or Educ 332 and design and conduct an empirically-based interdisciplinary project related to education (i.e., Educ 395). The project must include analysis of data (e.g., quantitative, qualitative, archival or biographical) using any empirical method (e.g., experiment, case study or interview) and must be presented orally to the department at the end of the semester.
