Using PSYC to Fulfill College Science Requirements

There are two ways to use Psychology courses to fulfill the College Science Requirement:

1.) PSYC BC1010 "Intro Lab" + PSYC BC1001 Introduction to Psychology Lecture (preferably taken concurrently), followed by one additional PSYC lecture; or

2.) PSYC BC1001 Introduction to Psychology Lecture, followed by PSYC BC1020 Research Methods and PSYC BC1101 Statistics, followed by one 2000-level Lecture and Lab combination from Group 1 or Group 2 (taken concurrently).

Notes:

• PSYC BC1010 "Intro Lab" is not required, for either majors or non-majors. However, if taken it must be completed before one's Junior year, and cannot be taken after completing any 2000-level PSYC lab (Group1 and 2 labs).
• For students who entered Barnard in Fall 2021 and after, PSYC BC1001, PSYC BC1020, and PSYC BC1101 are prerequisites for all psychology 2000-level lab courses. 
• Be aware that some laboratory courses are offered each semester, and some only once per year. 
• You can take a course to satisfy a GED requirement (in this case, a psychology lab) for a P/D/F grade. This is a College rule, and not a Departmental one.
• Psychology Laboratory Attendance Policy: You must attend every laboratory meeting. You are allowed only two excused absences. You may not arrive late. You may not depart before you complete the day's procedure.
• Refer to the College Catalogue for more information on Requirements for a Liberal Arts Degree.

Please contact the Department Administrator with any questions.
