B.S. in Psychology

University of Tulsa

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) with a major in psychology requires a total of 36 credit hours in psychology, excluding those counted toward general curriculum requirements. At least two-thirds of those credit hours must be at the 3000 level or above, and no more than 39 hours in psychology may be counted toward the degree. A senior project is required. Options that satisfy this requirement include completing a one- or two-semester research capstone, taking a fifth core class, completing a 5000-level graduate course, or participating in a psychology practicum experience. Given the major allows flexibility, students are strongly urged to work with their advisors to select courses in a meaningful order and in relation to their own career plans. Majors are encouraged to take foundation courses as early as possible.TU programs address fundamental questions about human nature via collaborative research, applied fieldwork, and mentoring.
