1 Psy 113 and the Mathematics General Education requirement are prerequisites for Psy 200.

2 No course taken in your major (i.e., Psychology) can be used to fill a Basic Liberal Studies requirement.

3 In your junior or senior year you should consider a practicum, internship, or research experience. There are courses in psychology that make this possible (e.g., PSY 305, 489, and 499). The URIntern Program offers a full l5-credit semester; thus, if you are interested in this option it is important to plan ahead to leave room in your schedule for a full semester of elective credits
