Those admitted into the PSYC BS for the Fall 2018 term will be allowed to continue as a PSYC BS major. However, as of Summer 2018, no other students will be admitted into this major.
Your major requirements will depend on when you entered UD (your "Catalog Year").
Students have the option of changing to a subsequent Catalog Year (e.g., if
requirements become more lenient after you start at UD, you may request to switch to
the more lenient requirements). Please contact the Director of Advising for more information.
