Requirements for the major in Psychology (B.A.):
To be eligible for admission to the psychology major students must receive a grade of C- or better in both L.PSY 101 and a foundational QR mathematics course. A 2.000 GPA in psychology courses completed at Loras College is required for a major. To maintain adequate progress toward a psychology major, we strongly recommend that psychology majors do the following: Take L.PSY 101 and L.PSY 121 during the first year; L.PSY 201 , L.PSY 211 , L.PSY 212 and L.PSY 231 in the second year and no later than the junior year; L.PSY 301 and L.PSY 344 during the junior year; and L.PSY 490 during the senior year.
Students seeking to add psychology as a second major to an existing major may substitute the statistics and research methods sequence from their first major for L.PSY 211 and L.PSY 212 . Students need permission of the Chair of the Division of Teacher Education and Behavioral Sciences to take L.PSY 211 , L.PSY 212 , or L.PSY 490 at another institution. Majors pursuing a semester away from Loras College (e.g. study abroad) may schedule this semester any time from the second semester of the sophomore year to the second semester of the senior year; these students should consult with a psychology advisor to adjust their schedules accordingly. Career plans for psychology majors may include graduate school, business and industry (a business minor is strongly recommended), medical school, law school, teaching, or semiprofessional positions in a psychological setting or closely related fields.
