General Education Requirements
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 2.00 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.
Please Note:
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 Psychology Program Coordinator 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.
