BLS

A BLS student has two options for completing a major program. One is to complete the requirements for the Bachelor's Degree in Psychology as specified in the university catalog. The other option is to create a special major consisting of courses from at least two disciplines. The special major must represent a coherent field of concentration. For example, a student might create a major in "Social Development" that includes relevent courses in psychology along with courses in sociology and anthropology such as Juvenille Delinquency and Anthropology of Gender. The BLS student must construct this major with their mentor and the special major must be approved by the BLS office. A proposal for a special major must be submitted to the BLS office before the student completes 15 credits toward the major.
