Total Upper Division Requirements: 21 Kinesiology + 21 Psychology = 42




Total Requirements

Subtotal: 55 Lower Division + 42 Upper Division = 97 credits

Breadth : 6 B-Hum designated credits

LD or UD Electives: 14 selected from any university LD or UD courses

UD Electives: 3 selected from any university UD courses

Total: 120 credits



University Breadth Requirement:

There are adequate B-Sci and B-SocSci courses in the required courses to satisfy those breadth requirements. However, 6 B-Hum credits will be required to complete the total breadth requirements.

University Writing Intensive Requirement:

University writing intensive requirement is satisfied by Neuroscience program required courses PSYC 201 and 300, both being writing intensive designated courses.
