Psychology (Clinical)... 4 Psychology (B.S)... 5 Guidelines for Mathematical Sciences Courses Psychology Majors There is no specific math course required for these majors. Statistical literacy is important in this field, and STAT 269 is a course that gives a good introduction to statistical methods and meets the QuEST requirement. The Math Department recommends STAT 269 as a good choice in preparation for PSYC 271 or SOAN 271. As an alternative, many students enroll in MATH 101, MATH 107, or CIS 171 in their first year. If you have had a pre-calculus course; then you should consider MATH 108. Bio-Psychology Majors Undergraduate preparation for medical school, dental school, veterinary school and allied health programs (such as chiropractic, occupational therapy, optometry, pharmacy, physician assistant and podiatry) is actually fairly straightforward. Please note that while the requirements are generally standard, there are many exceptions. Students are required to meet with Martha Smith, Coordinator of Pre-Health Professions Advising, in addition to their academic advisor, when planning their course of study. Mathematics requirements vary. Students should check the medical school to which they are applying for math requirements. While often not required, Math 108 (or higher) and statistics are strongly recommended. Students with Advanced Placement credit Requirements for courses in mathematical sciences can be met through Advanced Placement exam credit. Students who have taken AP exams in calculus, computer science, or statistics should go to the math department s website ( to find out how credit is awarded for your scores. III. Psychology
