Bachelor of Science in Psychology
Bachelor of Science in Psychology
Students pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology are required to complete a minimum of 13 units in psychology and four additional math and science units including Biology 120 and INQ 240. The psychology courses include 101, 204, 205, 290, 450 and two units chosen from 300, 420, 430 and 440. With the permission of the department, 1 unit of an empirically based independent study (406 or 405 and 407) or 1 unit of Honors Project (496 or 495 and 497) may be substituted for one unit of Research Seminar (420, 430, or 440). Psychology 300 and an Independent Study or Honors project will not satisfy the Research Seminar requirement. In addition, three units must be selected from Group B, and three Psychology electives may be chosen from all Psychology courses offered except only one Internship or Research Practicum or Special Topics, or INQ 260 PSYC unit may be applied to the major. Psychology 210 and 211 may not be counted towards the major if 215 has been taken. Students wishing to complete the Concentration in Human Development should take 210 and 211.
Group B: Personality-Social-Physiological-Cognitive: 315, 325, 330, 340, 350.
The four additional math and science units must include Biology 120, INQ 240 and two units from Group C:
Group C: Biology 125, 210, 230, 260, 320; Chemistry 111, 112, 221, 222, 341; Computer Science 101, 120, 170; Mathematics MATH 111 or higher; Physics 103, 104; Statistics 202, 301, 403, 404.
(Note that many of these courses are prerequisites to others; some do not receive credit if a higher-level course is taken. These restrictions apply.)
One NEUR course may be counted as an elective.

Roanoke Faculty Create Band
Between faculty meetings and finals, Drs. Maina, Buchholz and Grant find time to march to the beat of their own drums after creating a faculty band last fall. None of the aforementioned faculty can be found in the music department, but these three still know how to perform for a crowd.
