Concentrations

Requirements for Psychology Concentrations

18-32 units

Beyond core requirements, students complete the major requirements by choosing a concentration. Based on a student's primary interests, the choice of a concentration enables the student to begin to prepare for post-baccalaureate work in psychology. Concentrations should be declared in the spring semester of the sophomore year.

The department offers eight concentrations to assist students in preparing for careers in psychology.

Students seeking further information on careers which correspond to the concentrations offered by the department should contact the appropriate division of the American Psychological Association (APA). The division identified with each concentration represents professionals working in that sub-specialty of the field of psychology.
