Psychologists investigate how behavior is modified in the face of psychiatric disorders or disease and how the brain gives rise to the rich tapestry of behaviors that govern our day-to-day experiences.<\/p>\n<p>A psychology major gives you much career flexibility because of its emphasis on reasoning, problem solving, critical thinking, communication, research and writing. In addition to becoming a counselor or therapist, many students go into human resources, sales, marketing, business management, law, medicine, social work, real estate, social services, and more \u2013 all fields that require comprehensive knowledge of human behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Many students go on to graduate school to pursue specialized training. This may lead to a career as a counselor, therapist, or research scientist. In most states, a master's degree is required to become a licensed practitioner. At 51ÁÔÆæ, our psychology major can be tailored: the Bachelor of Arts route is ideal for students planning a career in human services while the Bachelor of Science route has more lab science and is well-suited for students looking to go into a graduate research program or medical school.<\/p>\n<p>The version of the major that leads to a Bachelor of Arts can be completed entirely online if that is desired.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Psychology students at 51ÁÔÆæ have a distinct advantage \u2013 they can participate in research as undergraduates, sometimes even as soon as freshman year. In psychology labs, students work directly with faculty and graduate students on their current research projects, and sometimes contribute as co-authors to peer-reviewed presentations or publications. In addition, a number of psychology students complete field placements. A field placement is similar to an internship and permits students to step out of the traditional classroom setting and volunteer with a community organization that has a mission consistent with the psychology degree. In each case, our students acquire fundamental skills, have opportunities to explore and refine their interests, and establish meaningful connections that permit them to make informed decisions about their future pursuits.<\/p>\n  \n\n<\/text>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"uwm-c-link--arrow\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/cost-aid\/\">Cost and Financial Aid<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

In these laboratory courses, students run multiple experiments, collect and analyze data quantitatively, and write up the results in a standard journal article format, integrating the results with a critical survey of relevant professional literature. The Systems and Foundations courses are non-laboratory, upper-level courses designed to provide in-depth knowledge on specific topics in psychology. Students are welcome to take additional Systems and Foundations courses as electives.<\/p>\n<table class=\"sc_courselist\">\n<caption class=\"hidden noscript\">Course List<\/caption>\n<colgroup>\n<col class=\"codecol\"\/>\n<col class=\"titlecol\"\/>\n<col align=\"char\" char=\".\" class=\"hourscol\"\/>\n<\/colgroup>\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"hidden noscript\">\n<th scope=\"col\">Code<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Title<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\" class=\"hourscol\">Credits<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"even firstrow\"><td class=\"codecol\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.uwm.edu\/search\/?search=PSYCH 502\">PSYCH\u00a0502<\/a><\/td><td>Applied Behavior Analysis<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">4<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr class=\"odd\"><td class=\"codecol\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.uwm.edu\/search\/?search=PSYCH 505\">PSYCH\u00a0505<\/a><\/td><td>Cognitive Processes<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">4<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr class=\"even\"><td class=\"codecol\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.uwm.edu\/search\/?search=PSYCH 623\">PSYCH\u00a0623<\/a><\/td><td>Perceptual Processes<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">4<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr class=\"odd\"><td class=\"codecol\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.uwm.edu\/search\/?search=PSYCH 654\">PSYCH\u00a0654<\/a><\/td><td>Advanced Behavioral Neuroscience<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">4<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr class=\"even\"><td class=\"codecol\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.uwm.edu\/search\/?search=PSYCH 656\">PSYCH\u00a0656<\/a><\/td><td>Psychophysiology<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">4<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr class=\"odd\"><td class=\"codecol\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.uwm.edu\/search\/?search=PSYCH 660\">PSYCH\u00a0660<\/a><\/td><td>Experimental Child Psychology<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">4<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr class=\"even lastrow\"><td class=\"codecol\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.uwm.edu\/search\/?search=PSYCH 677\">PSYCH\u00a0677<\/a><\/td><td>Experimental Social Psychology<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">4<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<h2>Cross-Listed Courses<\/h2>\n<p>One of the following courses offered by other academic units may be used to fulfill requirements of the undergraduate major in psychology (in Systems and Foundations):<\/p>\n<table class=\"sc_courselist\">\n<caption class=\"hidden noscript\">Course List<\/caption>\n<colgroup>\n<col class=\"codecol\"\/>\n<col class=\"titlecol\"\/>\n<col align=\"char\" char=\".\" class=\"hourscol\"\/>\n<\/colgroup>\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"hidden noscript\">\n<th scope=\"col\">Code<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Title<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\" class=\"hourscol\">Credits<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"even firstrow\"><td class=\"codecol\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.uwm.edu\/search\/?search=BIO SCI 455\">BIO\u00a0SCI\u00a0455<\/a><\/td><td>Cellular, Molecular and Developmental Neurobiology<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr class=\"odd\"><td class=\"codecol\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.uwm.edu\/search\/?search=BUS ADM 442\">BUS\u00a0ADM\u00a0442<\/a><\/td><td>Industrial Psychology<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr class=\"even lastrow\"><td class=\"codecol\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.uwm.edu\/search\/?search=LINGUIS 440\">LINGUIS\u00a0440<\/a><\/td><td>Psycholinguistics<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"tab-psychology-major-ba-advising\" class=\"uwm-p-tabcontent--pane\"><style>\n\t\t\t.sc_courselist tr:nth-child(even) {\n \t\t\t background-color: #f2f2f2\n\t\t\t}\t\t\n\t\t\t.sc_footnotes td, .sc_footnotes th, .sc_footnotes table {  border-left: none;\n  border-right: none; padding: 8px;}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t.sc_courselist {\n\t\t\t\tborder-collapse: collapse;\n\t\t\t}\t\t\n\t\t\t.sc_courselist td, .sc_courselist th {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 1px solid #ddd;\n\t\t\t\tpadding: 8px;\n        min-width: 40px;\n\t\t\t}\t\t\n\t\t\t.hourscol{\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: right;\n\t\t\t}\t\t\t\n\t\t\t.hidden.noscript{\n\t\t\t\tdisplay: none;\n\t\t\t}\t\n\t\n\t.notinpdf{\n\t\tdisplay:none;\n\t}\n\t\t\t.areaheader, .symcol {\n\t\t\t\tfont-weight: bold;\n\t\t\t}\n\t.HU { background-color: #ffce9c; }\n\t\t\t.SS { background-color: #f0e68c; }\n\t\t\t.NS { background-color: #ceefbd; }\n\t\t\t.OWCB { background-color: #ccccff; }\n\t\t\t.QLB { background-color: #ccffff; }\n\t\n\tdl {\n  display: grid;\n  grid-template-columns: max-content auto;\n}\n\ndt {\n  grid-column-start: 1;\n}\n\ndd {\n  grid-column-start: 2;\n}\n<\/style>\n<advisingtext name=\"Advising\">\n\n <h2>Letters &amp; Science Advising<\/h2> <p>During your time at 51ÁÔÆæ, you may have multiple members of your success team, including advisors, peer mentors and success coaches. Letters &amp; Science students typically work with at least two different types of advisors as they pursue their degrees: professional college advisors and faculty advisors. L&amp;S college advisors advise across your entire degree program while departmental faculty advisors focus on the major.<\/p> <p>College advisors are located in Holton Hall (or virtually for online students) and serve as your primary advisor. They are your point person for your questions about navigating college and completing your degree. College advisors will:<\/p> <ul> \t<li>Assist you in defining your academic and life goals.<\/li> \t<li>Help you create an educational plan that is consistent with those goals.<\/li> \t<li>Assist you in understanding curriculum, major and degree requirements for graduation, as well as university policies and procedures.<\/li> \t<li>Provide you with information about campus and community resources and refer you to those resources as appropriate.<\/li> \t<li>Monitor your progress toward graduation and completion of requirements.<\/li> <\/ul> <p>Faculty advisors mentor students in the major and assist them in maximizing their development in the program. You will begin working with a faculty advisor when you declare your major. Faculty advisors are an important partner and will:<\/p> <ul> \t<li>Help you\u00a0understand major requirements and course offerings in the department.\u00a0<\/li> \t<li>Explain opportunities for internships and undergraduate research and guide you in obtaining those experiences.<\/li> \t<li>Serve as an excellent resource as you consider potential graduate programs and career paths in your field.<\/li> <\/ul> <p>Students are encouraged to meet with both their college advisor and faculty advisor at least once each semester. Appointments are available in-person, by phone or by video.\u00a0<\/p> <p>Currently enrolled students should use the <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.navigate.eab.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Navigate360 website<\/a>\u00a0to make an appointment with your assigned advisor or call (414) 229-4654 if you do not currently have an assigned Letters &amp; Science advisor.\u00a0Prospective students who haven't enrolled in classes yet should call (414) 229-7711 or email\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:let-sci@uwm.edu\" target=\"_blank\">let-sci@uwm.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/advisingtext>\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion uwm-p-accordion--icon-left-circle\" \r\ndata-accordion-prefix-classes=\"uwm\" data-accordion-cool-selectors=\"1\">\r\n    <!-- wp:uwm-blocks\/accordion-item {\"title\":\"Get Advising\"} -->\r\n    \r\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\">Get Advising<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\">\r\n    <div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\r\n        <!-- wp:list {\"className\":\"is-style-Default \"} -->\r\n<ul class=\"is-style-Default\">\r\n    <li><strong>\r\n    Currently enrolled majors with questions about general degree \r\n    requirements?<\/strong> Make an appointment with your assigned Letters & Science \r\n    College Advisor through <a class=\"uwm-c-link--external\" \r\n     href=\"https:\/\/uwm.guide.eab.com\/\" \r\n    target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Navigate<\/a> \r\n    or email your advisor.<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>\r\n        Currently enrolled majors with questions about the major \r\n        specifically?<\/strong> Email your faculty advisor or the \r\n        department directly.<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>Currently enrolled 51ÁÔÆæ \r\n        students not yet in the College of Letters & Science?<\/strong> \r\n        Email <a href=\"mailto:ls-advising@uwm.edu\" target=\"_blank\" \r\n        rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ls-advising@uwm.edu<\/a>.<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>Haven\u2019t started classes yet at 51ÁÔÆæ?<\/strong> \r\n        Email our admissions counselor at \r\n        <a href=\"mailto:let-sci@uwm.edu\" target=\"_blank\" \r\n        rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">let-sci@uwm.edu<\/a>.<\/li>\r\n    <\/ul>\r\n<!-- \/wp:list --><\/div><\/div>\r\n<!-- \/wp:uwm-blocks\/accordion-item -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:uwm-blocks\/accordion-item {\"title\":\"Letters \\u0026amp; Science Degree Requirements\"} -->\r\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\">Letters & Science Degree Requirements<\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\"><!-- wp:paragraph {\"className\":\"is-style-default\"} -->\r\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">In addition to the requirements for the \r\nmajor (in the\u00a0<em>Requirements\u00a0<\/em>tab of this page), students must \r\nfulfill a number of other requirements.
