RESEARCH PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENT. Students in undergraduate psychology courses without laboratories must complete a research participation requirement in each of the first two of these courses they take. The standard requirement is that they participate in four one-hour experimental sessions per course. Students who do not wish to participate in experimental sessions must complete an alternative requirement, such as writing a critical analysis of a journal article selected by the faculty. Students who do not complete the requirement by the end of the semester deadline will fail the course. Instructions for participating in research are distributed in each course at the beginning of the term. (See section on Guidelines for Research Involving Human Subjects). DEPARTMENTAL COURSE REQUIREMENT. By the end of the senior year each concentrator must complete and pass at least eight graded departmental courses; any additional courses above the eight may be taken pass/fail. Student-initiated seminars, Psychology l0l, and Psychology 251 do not count as departmental courses. Departmental courses taken prior to formal entry into the department (e.g., during freshman or sophomore years) do count as departmental courses. Courses taken outside of Princeton University (except in pre-approved Study Abroad programs) do not count toward the departmental course requirement. COGNATES. If especially relevant to a particular student's program, one or two cognates may be substituted for departmental electives. A student who wishes to declare a cognate must write a brief statement, in consultation with his or her adviser, justifying the course selection. This statement, signed by the adviser, must then be submitted to the undergraduate office for final approval. Courses must be identified as cognates during course registration; they may not be declared cognates retroactively. Once declared a cognate, a course will be counted as such unless it is dropped or taken on a pass-fail basis. DEPARTMENTAL DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENT. The departmental distribution requirement is designed to ensure that concentrators understand the main trends in contemporary psychology. Psychology concentrators must pass at least eight departmental courses in addition to the prerequisites. Only three of these courses may be at the 200-level. Each student must meet the following distribution requirements:
STUDY ABROAD COURSES: While studying abroad, concentrators can take two courses per semester to count toward the required departmental 9 courses. These courses must be approved by the departmental representative. PROGRAM FOR DEPARTMENTAL STUDENTS.
Students should plan a program of study that is appropriate for
their area of specialization and independent work. In particular,
there are important background courses that should be taken by the
end of the sophomore year. These are: (a) for Cognitive Psychology,
255; (b) for Behavioral Neuroscience, 258; (c) for Social and Personality
Psychology, 252 and/or 257.
Obtain the instructor's permission.
A selected group of juniors and seniors
majoring in psychology work with the Departmental Undergraduate
Representative on matters of concern to our majors: e.g., curriculum,
independent work, grading, honors, social activities, etc. All students
interested in participating in the work of the Undergraduate Committee
are encouraged to contact the Departmental Undergraduate Coordinator,
Tamara Thatcher, in Room l-C-3 Green Hall, extension 8-5289.
If you wish to visit a course for a week
or two for the purpose of deciding whether or not to take the course
next year, please ask the lecturer's permission to sit in.
Undergraduates may audit or enroll in graduate
courses. Instructor's permission is required.
