Preparation, time and schedule
Before you apply
Review statistics and research-methods preparation before choosing advanced electives.
Your complete timeline
Study spans neuroscience, cognition, social behavior, development, personality and psychopathology, with a senior research experience. The major or concentration credits shown here are not the total credits needed for a bachelor’s degree. Ask for a term-by-term plan that includes prerequisites, transfer decisions and application timing.

Questions to take to an advisor
What research methods and data-analysis skills would I be able to show employers or graduate programs?
- What is included in the written price, and what would I pay separately?
- What support is available if my work schedule, disability accommodations or family responsibilities affect attendance?
Published program length is not a personal completion estimate. Transfer credits, prerequisites, selection and course availability can change the timeline.
After the program
This undergraduate degree does not qualify you as a licensed psychologist or therapist. Human-service support roles vary in their entry requirements; clinical practice generally requires additional education and professional approval.
Cost and outcomes
Published base; complete personal budget still needed
Add program-specific fees, books, tools or supplies, exams, prerequisite study, travel and living expenses to the published base below. Your final cost depends on your course plan and financial aid.
Published tuition or budget base
The College of Undergraduate Studies lists $60,100 in tuition and fees for 2026-27. Books, supplies, housing, meals and personal expenses are additional. This is one academic year's published price before financial aid, not the full degree price.
