Undergraduate Study in Psychology at Colorado State University

General Requirements

The University has certain core courses that are required of all students regardless of their majors. These courses are called the All University Core Curriculum (AUCC). In addition to these core courses, the Department of Psychology has a course of study required for a Bachelors of Science Degree in Psychology. Both the AUCC core courses and psychology requirements are incorporated in the Psychology Check Sheet so that students have only one place to look for all their course requirements.

In order to receive a degree at Colorado State University, a student must complete a minimum of 120 credits which must include 42 upper division credits. Upper division credits are given for those courses numbered 300 or higher. A minimum of 30 credits has to be completed in residency at CSU. Basically, this means that if a student transfers into CSU from another university and transfers in enough credits to be close to the 120 required, they will still have to complete 30 credits here at CSU before a degree will be conferred. Students must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0 in order to graduate.
