Biology/Psychology Comprehensive Major, 70-77 hours: B.S.—No Minor Required

CIP: 422706

This major allows students to complete individual programs of study arranged by advisors in the Department of Natural Sciences and Behavioral Sciences. While requiring students to complete half their class work as advised by each department, the number of elective hours gives this 70-77 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 disciplines at an early date to contract a program of study.
