Course Changes and Prerequisite changes
PSYC225 Psychology of Personal Adjustment
From: Prerequisite PSYC101
To: Prerequisite BE122 (or 226), or satisfactory score on the CUNY/ACT Assessment Test
Rationale: After a review of the PSYC225 prerequisite by full-time psychology faculty it was decided that due
to the predominant focus of the course on practical applications pertaining to self-management and personal
mental health issues the introductory psychology prerequisite is not necessary.
SS390 Sociology of Health and Medicine
From: Prerequisite SS310
To: Prerequisite BE122 (or 226), or satisfactory score on the CUNY/ACT Assessment Test
Rationale: After a review of the SS310 prerequisite by full-time sociology faculty it was decided that due to the
special focus of the course on issues relevant to the
Health Sciences degree programs it was not necessary to require introductory sociology. This change will
enable Health Sciences students to take the course to satisfy their Social Sciences, History, or Humanities
elective in the HS1 program without having first to complete the SOCY101 pre-requisite.
Course Number changes
From: PSYC225 Psychology of Personal Adjustment
To: PSYC125
Rationale: To indicate that it is a 100-level course with no introductory psychology prerequisite.
From: SS390 Sociology of Health and Medicine
To: SOCY190 Sociology of Health and Medicine
Rationale: To bring it into conformity with the new course prefix system approved last Spring for other
sociology courses, and to indicate that it is a 100-level course with no introductory sociology prerequisite.
