Lab Limits

There are limits on the number of lab courses that can count for concentration credit.
These limits differ depending on what set of requirements you are completing:

For Class of 2011 and beyond:

  • All students (any track, including thesis writers) may count two labs (any combination of PSY 910r or lab courses). Additional lab courses that do not count towards the concentration may be taken for college credit.
  • PSY 985 DOES count against the lab limit for this class. PSY 985 will not meet the lab requirement for those tracks that require a lab course.
  • PSY 910r may be taken up to three times for college credit. top


Class of 2010:

  • Unless they are pursuing the Honors-eligible Thesis option, students may take up to three labs (any combination of lab courses and 910r's).
  • Honors-eligible Thesis option students may take one lab only (either a lab course or PSY 910r) to meet the lab requirement and may not count any addition lab courses (lab courses or PSY 910r) as electives. Additional lab courses may be taken for college credit.
  • PSY 985 does not count against the lab limit.
  • PSY 910r may be taken up to three times for college credit. top


Class of 2008 and 2009:

  • Lab limits apply to PSY 910r only. Unless they are pursuing the Honors-eligible Thesis option, students may count two 910r's; Honors-eligible Thesis option students may count one 910r. Students may count up to three 910rs for college credit.
  • Courses listed as counting for the lab course requirement may be taken to meet lab requirement (see requirements chart for which tracks require a lab course) or counted as concentration electives - there are no limits on these courses. top
