Because of the interdisciplinary nature of many of our courses, this numbering system is not always applicable to every Psychology course. Use this page as a rough guide to assess the different course areas, but for more detailed course information, please consult the syllabus, or contact your Concentration Advisor or the Undergraduate Office!
Number of Digits
- TWO, e.g. PSY 15: Foundational Courses
