Which In-depth courses are required or interested in? Which electives interest you? Do you want to take courses outside of psychology? 3. Make sure to note the entry requirements for the courses and the order in which courses must be taken. 4. Plan 15 ec per Block. Move things around to make the best schedule for you. 5.
