4. Psychology courses taken through an approved Study Out of Residence (SOR) program may count as departmental electives toward the concentration (but not toward the secondary field) if:
- They are on the automatic approval list
- They are approved by petition in advance. SOR courses in psychology must meet the same guidelines as non-departmental petitioned courses. Please see Study Out of Residence for additional information. Courses taken out of residence have their own set of deadlines. top
