The lab requirement must be met in one of the following three ways for a minimum of 6 credits. Each course must be
taken for at least 3 credits in a single term. It is recommended to complete the methods lab soon after completing the
Stats pre-requisite, as methods labs build off of the foundation established in Stats. Students interested in research
experience (e.g., PSYCH 326 or 331) should try to apply to labs no later than first semester of their junior year. Many labs
do not accept seniors. To find research opportunities, visit:
Option 3: Honors Thesis or Senior Thesis sequence
*Experiential based labs that are graded Credit/No Credit may fulfill the categorical requirement for this lab; however, the credits do
not count towards the 32 major credits.

Option 1: One course from A (Methods Based Labs) AND one course from B (Experiential Labs)
The Senior and Honors thesis sequences are advanced research opportunities during the final two semesters. To be
eligible, students must gain significant research experience prior to their final year. Psych 424 and 428 fulfill the
experiential/research lab; Psych 426 and 429 fulfill the methods lab and ULWR. Interested students should consult with
an advisor and view the website for more information:
