Reminders:

A minimum of 43 psychology credits is required for a major in Psychology. A grade of C or better must be obtained in each course to satisfy requirements for the Liberal Arts requirements. A course may be repeated (taken a second time) only once due to a grade less than a C. A student wishing to repeat a course more than one time (taken a third time) must seek permission from the Department and the Registrar’s office. A student withdrawal (for any reason) at any point in the course will count as taking the course; subsequently, the course from which a student withdraws could be repeated only one additional time.

SAGE STUDENTS may choose courses from the same discipline to satisfy LAC requirements for Social Sciences and Humanities. For example, SAGE students may count two English courses or two History courses to satisfy the Humanities LAC. Only certain courses satisfy the LAC requirements. Please see https://my.cedarcrest.edu/forms/curriculumlist.aspx for a list (myCedarCrest logon required). ADDENDUM – 5/18/2015: PSY 215 is a required course for all Psychology Majors but DOES NOT fulfill LAC Natural Sciences (SCI) requirements for Psychology Majors. You must take an additional 7 credits in a natural science to fulfill the LAC requirement.
