Students:  We are currently experiencing problems with the Psychology Advising Tutorial.  Until we have corrected this problem YOU DO NOT need to complete the Tutorial, but you must make an appointment with an advisor. Please restart the tutorial by clicking the back arrow and then click on Make an Advising Appointment found on top of the first page.  If this page does not open, please email Kathy Elgin, elgin.kath@uwlax.edu or Justine Grant, grant.just@students.uwlax.edu, to request an appointment. 

 

Welcome to Psychology

We hope the tutorials on the following pages will help you understand the requirements for the major. If you are a student entering UW-L Fall 2009 or later, we have new entrance requirements. Our Psychology Major requires that you complete two milestones:

Milestone #1:

  1. Complete the Psychology Tutorials --you are doing that right now if you are reading this!
  2. Meet with Dr. Emily Johnson or another member of the Psychology Department Advising Team.
  3. Complete a change of major form and turn it into the College of Liberal Studies Office in 260 Morris Hall (the form is available in the college office).

Milestone #2:

  1. Earn at least a grade of "C" in psychology 100 (introduction to Psychology) and
  2. Earn at least a grade of "C" in Math 145 (Statistics)
  3. Complete ENG 110 and CST 110
  4. Earn a minimum of a 2.25 across these four courses.
  5. Complete a minimum of 30 credits
Milestone #2 must be met before you can enroll in the required Research Methods Lecture and Laboratory Courses, PSY 331 & 332
Students who have not yet completed these requirements will NOT be able eligible to take some of the required courses in the major.  It is also important that you complete the steps so that you will be assigned a Psychology Advisor who can help guide you toward academic success.
