Abstract: . . .  for statistics courses taken prior to enrollment at Wellesley should consult the chair of the department. Research Methods Requirement: The department offers seven research methods courses: PSYC 306R, 307R, 310R, 312R, 314R, 320R and 324R. In order to be eligible for Senior Thesis Research (PSYC 360), students must complete the research methods course by the end of the junior year. Psychology minor: Consists of five units, including one course at the 300 level and including 101 for students who enter the college in Fall 2004 or later. PSYC 299, 350, and 351 do not count as one of the five courses for the minor. At least three of the courses for the minor must be taken in the department. Related Interdepartmental Majors: Students interested in an interdepartmental major in neuroscience or cognitive and linguistic sciences are referred to the section of the catalog where these programs are described. They should consult with the directors of the neuroscience or cognitive and linguistic sciences programs. As of 5/10/2006 Page 17 Advanced Placement Credit: The unit given to students for advanced placement in psychology does not count towards the minimum psychology major or minor at Wellesley but it does fulfill the PSYC 101 requirement. If an AP student with a score of 5 completes PSYC 101, she will receive the appropriate psychology credit but will receive no AP credit. Advanced placement credit for statistics does not exempt students from or fulfill the PSYC 205 requirement. An AP student with a score of 5 in statistics must still take 205 but can receive AP credit. Honors The only route to honors in the major is writing a thesis and passing an oral examination. To be admitted to the thesis program, a student must have a grade point average of at least 3.5 in all work in the major field above the 100-level; the department may petition on her behalf if her GPA in the major is between 3.0 and 3.5.
