PLAN YOUR PATH
Preparation, time and schedule
Before you apply
Compare applied experiences with preparation for graduate study, and plan for research methods and statistics.
Your complete timeline
Confirm your full degree plan. Prior credits, prerequisite placement and course availability can change your personal completion date.
180 quarter credits minimum for the bachelor's degree. Major, general education and residency requirements must also be completed; a major's credit total alone is not the whole degree. Official degree requirements ↗ · Checked September 16, 2026
Plan around the schedule
Check the schedule for your specific degree route, including laboratories, fieldwork or the capstone. An online option in a department does not establish that every concentration or required experience is online.
Application and selection
Ask for a current catalog-based degree audit and transfer review. Check prerequisite sequencing and how often required upper-division courses run.

Questions to take to an advisor
Which practical experiences would help me decide between entering human services and applying to graduate school?
- Which required courses or placements are offered only once per year?
- Can you give me a written estimate covering every required term and practical expense?
- Which employment, transfer or licensing requirements remain after this award?
Published program length is not a personal completion estimate. Transfer credits, prerequisites, selection and course availability can change the timeline.
After the program
A psychology bachelor’s degree is not a psychologist or therapist license. Additional graduate preparation and credentialing apply to licensed practice.
