Subject Exams

For example, in Psychology, if you take PSY 100 you may not sit for the Subject exams in Educational Psychology or Human Growth and Development. However, there are exceptions to this rule - for example, if you take PSY 250 - Statistics you may sit for the Subject exams in Introduction to Psychology, Educational Psychology, and/or Human Growth and Development. If you have questions about possible exceptions, please contact the Registrar’s Office.
Three credit hours are awarded for all Subject Examinations unless otherwise noted. Each area of study is listed below.
