The Department of Psychological Sciences offers programs designed for students who are interested in a science-oriented degree that will prepare them for graduate study in psychology, neuroscience, or a related field (e.g., medical school, pharmacy, physical therapy) or for employment in jobs where strong quantitative and research skills are required.
Concentrations
- Applied & Social Psychological Science (PASP)
- Biobehavioral Psychology (PBBP)
- Clinical Psychological Science (PCPS)
- Cognitive Psychology (PCGP)
- Developmental Science (PDVS)
- Quantitative Psychology (PSQP) (Available to 747E Majors only)
- General (PGEN) (Available to 747 Majors only)
Program Requirements (37-52 hours)
The department provides two options for the Bachelor of Science degree. The non-extended option requires a minimum of 37 credit hours and a minor or second major is required. The extended option requires a minimum of 49 unduplicated credit hours and no minor or second major is required. For both options, students will complete a program of study that includes Core and Concentration components as well as a Laboratory Experience component.
To complete the Core requirement, students will select a total of 26 to 28 credit hours from the following categories: Foundations of Psychology, Developmental Processes, Learning and Cognition, Individual Differences and Social Processes, Biological Bases of Behavior and Mental Processes, Research Methods and Statistics, and Capstone Experience.
To complete the Laboratory Experience component, students will complete one PSYS lab course or one PSYS lecture / lab course at the 300-level or above.
To complete the Concentration requirement, students in the non-extended option will (a) complete 12 credit hours from one thematic concentration (applied & social psychological science, biobehavioral psychology, clinical psychological science, cognitive psychology, or developmental science) or (b), if in the general concentration, complete 12 credit hours of upper-level PSYS or PSY courses found in any of the thematic concentrations to study themes in psychological science more broadly. Students choosing the extended option (a) must choose a thematic concentration (applied & social psychological science, biobehavioral psychology clinical psychological science, cognitive psychology, or developmental science) but cannot choose the general concentration, and (b) will complete 24 credit hours (12 credit hours from the thematic concentration and 12 unduplicated credit hours of upper-level PSYS or PSY courses found in any of the other thematic concentrations).
Students completing the extended major can select electives from the following: PSYS 300, PSYS 321, PSYS 331, PSYS 333, PSYS 346, PSYS 350, PSYS 352, PSYS 353, PSYS 357, PSYS 360, PSYS 363, PSYS 370, PSYS 413, PSYS 415, PSYS 423, PSYS 424, PSYS 425, PSYS 431, PSYS 433, PSYS 440, PSYS 442, PSYS 444, PSYS 450, PSYS 451, PSYS 453, PSYS 462, PSYS 463, PSYS 465, PSYS 473, PSYS 481, PSYS 482, PSYS 490, PSYS 499, PSY 355, PSY 412, PSY 470
Students who are in the quantitative concentration of the extended version of the major will complete 24-25 hours of concentration courses in addition to the 26-28 hours in the major's core.
Students must complete either
Students who select the extended option with the quantitative psychology concentration must complete MATH 136.
Students in the non-extended option of the Psychological Science major can count no more than 3 credits of PSYS 490 toward the major. Students in the extended option, including the quantitative concentration, may count no more than 6 credits of PSYS 490 towards the major, with no more than 3 credits counting toward a single concentration's requirements. PSYS 300 is recommended to meet the Colonnade: Writing in the Disciplines requirement and can be used to satisfy major requirements in the 12 concentration hours of the general concentration, in the 9 elective hours of the quantitative concentration, or in the 12 upper-level elective hours majors complete in the extended version of the major.
The Psychological Science major includes laboratory experiences. In addition to completing a laboratory in research methods, students in the non-extended option of the major and in the extended option of the major (including the quantitative concentration) complete one additional laboratory experience.
A baccalaureate degree requires a minimum of 120 unduplicated semester hours. More information can be found at www.wku.edu/registrar/degree_certification.php.
Students who began WKU in the Fall 2014 and thereafter should review the Colonnade requirements located at: https://www.wku.edu/colonnade/colonnaderequirements.php.

Joint Undergraduate Master's Program (JUMP)
The Department of Psychological Sciences offers a Joint Undergraduate Master's Program (JUMP) which provides academically outstanding students the opportunity to complete both an undergraduate and graduate degree in an accelerated timeframe. Contact the graduate program coordinator for additional information.
This JUMP program allows students to start working toward their MS in Psychology with a concentration in Psychological Science (Ref: 0469) while completing their bachelor’s of science degree in Psychological Science (Ref: 747 and 747E). Undergraduate students admitted into JUMP may take graduate courses that count toward both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Up to 12 credit hours can be double-counted toward both degrees, and up to 15 hours of graduate courses can be taken while a student is completing the undergraduate degree. The key benefit of the JUMP program is that it allows students to earn a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in an accelerated timeframe. For more information, see https://www.wku.edu/psychological-sciences/.
To be considered for admission to the JUMP program to earn a BS in Psychological Science and a MS in Psychology in an accelerated timeframe a, a student must meet the following requirements:
- Be a Psychological Science major (includes programs with reference numbers 747 and 747E)
- Have completed at least 60 hours total, with at least 24 hours earned at WKU;
- Have at least 15 or more credit hours remaining to complete the bachelor’s degree;
- Have a minimum 3.25 overall GPA and 3.25 GPA in the Psychological Science major;
- Have completed or be enrolled in 16 credit hours in Psychological Science, including PSYS 100 (or PSYS 160), and PSYS 210, and PSYS 211, and PSYS 313 or the equivalent of these classes;
- Have completed at least one semester long research experience with a faculty member in the Department of Psychological Sciences.
Admissions are competitive and dependent upon graduate program capacity. The MS in Psychology with a concentration in Psychological Science uses a research mentorship approach to prepare students to be competitive applicants for admission into a Ph.D. program and/or for positions where strong research and methodological skills are needed.
