BA in Psychology
Declared Fall 1997 to Summer 2004
Effective Fall 1997, the requirements for the undergraduate BA in Psychology at SJSU
have been revised. The main change involves the restructuring of the five concentrations
into a single set of requirements: this is designed to give students greater flexibility
in selecting courses suited to their individual needs.
Students who entered SJSU before the Fall 1997 semester can choose to follow either
the revised or the current major requirements if they have kept up "continuous attendance"
in public higher education in California. Please see a Psychology Department advisor
if you have any questions.
