*NOTE: For students entering the program in Fall 2019 or after, a grade of “C” or above is required in PSH 110 (or equivalent), PSH 202 (or equivalent), PSH 301, and all five content courses. Grades of“C-” or lower in these courses are NOT acceptable and require repeats unless otherwise specified. Students who entered the program prior to Fall 2019 may opt in to this requirement.
Prerequisite Courses
- An introductory psychology course (PSH 110 or equivalent) is prerequisite for most other psychology courses.
- PSH 202 Statistics for Psychology (or equivalent) is a prerequisite for PSH 301.
Further Recommendations
Transfer students should note that a minimum of 18 credits in psychology must be taken at Brockport.
Students should note that equivalent statistics courses taught in a department other than Psychology do not count toward credit requirements in the major and will require completion of one additional psychology elective course.
Students are advised to take the required psychology core courses (PSH 110, 202, 301) as early as possible, as these provide a foundation for the content courses in the major. Completion of the required core and content courses prior to the end of the student’s junior year will minimize the chance of being closed out of required courses in their senior year.
