Thesis credits (PSY 599) must total 6, with a max of 5 in any semester. Students must have defended their prospectus by the end of drop/add and have a grade in
Psy 580 to enroll in thesis hours in a given semester. It is expected that students will work on their prospectus and thesis during semester breaks and summer.
General concentration students, (with thesis mentor approval), choose 4 of the 5 core courses and must take one PSY 595 seminar and one
elective approv ed by the Grad Coordinator.
ABA students must take PSY 517 Learning; PSY 520 Developmental; and PSY 556 Physio; the fourth core course may be either PSY 510 or PSY 565. They
also are expected to participate in a weekly advanced-topics seminar (PSY 522).
SATP students must take PSY 556 Physio and may select 3 of the remaining 4 core courses. They also must have taken a “drugs & behavior” course, or take
PSY 245 (undergraduate) in their first Spring semester, as it is a prerequisite for PSY 545 Chemical Dependency.
SATP and ABA students also complete a 3 credit hour/1000 work hour Internship PSY 597/598 beginning after Spring Year 2 & after thesis is defended.
