The Psychology Honors Program (PHP) is designed to provide honors-level work in the psychology major. The University Honors Program (UNHP) has an interdisciplinary emphasis, but includes work in psychology. Because each program has its own emphasis, students who qualify are encouraged to take advantage of both programs. For more information on the PHP, click on the links below.
Requirements of the Psychology Honors Program
The Psychology Honors Program requires 15 hours of Honors work in the psychology major. Students who complete the program with a 3.25 cumulative grade point average and finish the Honors Senior Thesis will earn the distinction 'With Honors in Psychology'. The 15 hours of honors work can be acquired in a variety of ways, including psychology honors classes, psychology honors contracts, and the required psychology honors thesis. Note that these 15 hours of honors courses are not in addition to requirements for the major. Most or all of these hours may also be counted toward the requirements of the University Honors Program. Go to Psychology Honors Course Options to view honors course offerings.
