Incoming first-year students are strongly encouraged to complete Introductory Psychology in the first semester of their first year and then to complete Careers in Psychology during the second semester of their first year. The Research Sequence, (i.e., Research Methods and Experimental Psychology) must be completed no later than your third year. To do otherwise will very likely delay your graduation.
