Bachelor of Science in Psychology - International plan

Psychology’s International Plan follows the Institute model to develop a global competence within the student's major program of study. It thus integrates the student’s international studies and experiences with the School’s quantitative and experimental approaches to the study of behavior.

In addition to the requirements for the BS in Psychology, students must complete the following:

  1. take three international courses, including one from each of the following categories: international relations, global economics, and a course on a specific country or region;
  2. spend two consecutive terms abroad engaged in fulfilling psychology electives (must be approved by the School of Psychology prior to enrolling in courses), free electives, humanities, and/or social science electives;
  3. demonstrate language proficiency equivalent to two years of college-level language study (to be determined by testing); and,
  4. incorporate the international experience within the capstone course or the senior thesis.
