PSYCHOLOGYNewsINTRODUCING THE NEW MAJORS

The Psychology Department will be offering new and improved major programs, effective Fall 2015. To help students to achieve their goals, our majors are now designed to help students reach their career goals and to improve time to graduation. We have also added Areas of Specialization for the B.S. degrees, so that students’ hard work within their chosen specialty is reflected on their diploma.

Students who have entered UC San Diego before Fall 2015 and will be graduating after Summer 2015 may choose to follow either the new or old major requirements. Students graduating prior to Fall 2015 must follow the old major requirements.

For more about our new majors, including Areas of Specialization, see page 3 and the Psychology Department website.
