Psychology Majors

Double Majors

Are you interested in double majoring with Psychology as one of your majors? For more information, please review the Undergraduate Advising Double Major site, which includes an example of how to complete the form, along with a clear breakdown of the overall process and timeline. Note: Per the Academic Senate, students may only overlap up to two upper-division (UD) courses between their two majors. Both departments must approve the overlap courses. If students want to change their overlapping courses, they must submit a revised Double Major petition to both departments for review and approval.

Academic Plans 

Academic Plans are designed to assist you in short and long-term planning. They provide an overview of the recommended quarter-by-quarter course schedule to facilitate your graduation. We encourage you to use the available plans as a resource to design your own unique path.

Students are encouraged first to create an academic plan, then consult with their major advisor (and minor advisor, if applicable), and finally meet with a college advisor to review their full academic plan.

College academic plans:  ERC  -  Marshall  -  Muir  -  Revelle  -  Sixth  -  Seventh  -  Warren 

Note: academic plans should be used as a guide, and the courses listed are not guaranteed to be offered in specific quarters.  

The video below will walk you through the process of creating your own academic plan:
