The major consists of Level I (introductory), Level II (intermediate), and Level III (advanced) courses. The following requirements apply to students entering the university as new students in the fall semester 2001. Students who began before fall 2001 may choose the old or new requirements for the major.
These courses provide a grounding in basic psychological facts and an understanding of the methodologies used to produce those facts. Four courses are required with grades as specified below.
Psych 202, 3 credits*
OR
Psych 281 (honors), 4 cr, with a grade of B or better to earn honors
Psych 210, 3 cr*
OR
Psych 280 (honors), 4 cr, with a grade of B or better to earn honors
( May substitute Stat. 371, or Soc. 360, or Gen Bus 303. A student must, however, earn 29-32 Psychology credits. )
*A GPA of 2.75 or better in Introductory Psychology and Basic Statistics for Psychology is required to enroll in Psychology 225 and to declare the major. If a student took Stat 301 before fall 2005, it may count as a substitute for Psych 210.

These courses help students develop a deeper understanding of particular areas of psychology. Two courses are required from this category. Prerequisites are senior standing and completion of Psychology 225.
When specific criteria are met, two semesters of research with the same professor may be used for one Level III course. See the undergraduate advisor or the department Web site (psych.wisc.edu) for details.
With permission from the professor, a senior with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or better may use a graduate course or seminar as a Level III course; however, the following graduate courses may not be used for this option: 701, 703, 704, 706, 707.
The following Level III courses are small (25-student enrollment limit), include discussion, papers, and readings from original sources. They carry a "D" (intermediate or advanced) level designation.

A number of seldom-offered courses are not listed here but appear in the Timetable when offered.
All students are required to fulfill the L&S requirement of at least 15 credits of upper-level work in the major completed in residence. Psychology courses numbered 300 or above count toward this requirement.
Information concerning Honors in the Major in Psychology and admission materials are available from the psychology undergraduate advisor. Decisions on admission to the Honors in the Major in Psychology program are made after each semester, in early October and February, by a committee of psychology faculty. Overall, criteria emphasize demonstrated ability and commitment to becoming a first-rate scholar. Performance in course work at the university, particularly honors courses in psychology and related fields, is among the criteria for admission. Consistent with the philosophy that there is more to honors scholarship than distinguished grades, commitment to excellence in the science of psychology, evidence of broad scholarship (including mathematics and sciences), and evidence of involvement within the university and the broader community enhance students' credentials. The same standards must be maintained to remain in the Honors in the Major in Psychology program following admission. Students pursuing Honors in the Major must maintain an overall GPA of at least 3.3 in all courses taken at UW-Madison at the time of graduation.
In addition to requirements for the psychology major, requirements for honors in psychology are:
Psych 386 Honors Topics in Psychology (fall and spring semesters)
Psych 681 Honors Thesis
Psych 682 Honors Thesis
Psych 686 Honors Seminar in Psychology (fall and spring semesters)
As part of the requirements for the psychology major, requirements for honors in psychology are:
One course from the clinical, developmental, or social groups shall be taken as an honors course.
One course from the biological or cognitive groups shall be taken as an honors
course.
Students must earn a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.3 in courses taken in the major.
Recommended course work for the honors degree in psychology includes:
Psych 281 Honors Introduction to Psychology
Psych 280 Honors Psychometric Methods
Psych 285 Honors Experimental Psychology
In general, honors students are encouraged to enroll in psychology courses offered for honors credits whenever possible.
These designations are available to students who are not in the honors program. A student must earn a GPA of 3.5 in all psychology credits and complete a piece of independent work that is evaluated by the department. A thesis of distinction requires a senior thesis of high caliber, but no specific cumulative grade point average is required.
All classes listed in the course descriptions section will be offered regularly unless otherwise noted. Please check with the department office for information on specific courses.
Honors versions of courses in the major may be used to satisfy any of the requirements: i.e., 280, 281, 285, 481, 484/485, 486, 488, 489, 580, 585, 587, 589.
