-
Advanced Statistics (PSY 604)
At least two from among:
-
History and Systems of Psychology (PSY 521)
-
Learning and Cognition (PSY 603)
-
Biopsychology (PSY 608)
-
Perception (PSY 642)
-
Social Bases of Individual Behavior (PSY 607)
In addition to Psychological Research (PSY 602) and Statistics (PSY 604), 26 credit hours are required.
