List program changes for curriculum revisions:

 

1.  We wish to add Psyc 394, Cultural Psychology, as one of the options in our core group of Social Psychology courses Psychology Education majors may take.

 

2.  We wish to delete Psyc 386, Industrial/Organizational Psychology, as an option in our core group of Social Psychology courses  for Psychology Education majors.

 

 

List new courses required for the new or revised curriculum:

 (Be aware that approval of the curriculum is dependent upon these courses successfully passing through the Course Challenge list. If there are no new courses enter “None”)

 

None.

 

Other affected units:

(List other departments affected by this new or revised curriculum.  Attach permission from the affected units.  If no other unit is affected, enter “None”)

 

None.  These changes are internal to the Psychology of Education curriculum for majors.

 

 

 

Rationale:

(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the curriculum or program.)

 

Psychology of Education majors must take the same major requirements as Psychology majors.  We are making these minor changes to the curriculum for the Psychology majors, and we must do the same for the Psychology of Education majors.

 

PSYC 394 reflects a focal teaching interest of two new faculty members and constitutes a core component of most undergraduate offerings in Social Psychology.  PSYC 386 has not been offered in many years and no longer fits our Social Psychology orientation.
