The requirements for the Psychological Science track mirror those of the Psychology, BA.
Note: Students will declare their track (Science or Services) after completing PY 101, PY 102, PY 300, and PY 304. To continue in the Psychological Science track, a student must have an average GPA of 3.0 or higher in those core courses and no grade lower than a "C-" in any core course. This GPA requirement (3.0) is slightly higher than for the Psychological Services track (2.5).
