Graduate Study
Clinical and Counseling Psychology
Courses and MajorsWhat Should I Major In?While many programs do not require an undergraduate psychology major, they require
the completion of a number of psychology courses. Majoring in psychology or human
development is an easy way to complete the coursework that is required for admission.
Check graduate programs that interest you for specific requirements.
What Courses Should I Take?It is important that you develop a solid foundation in basic psychology and supplement that with additional coursework in a specific topic/subject depending on interest. It is recom-mended that you complete coursework in each of six areas: statistics, experimental methods, biological bases of behavior, personality, psychopathology, and social groups. Cornell University courses recommended for application to clinical psychology programs are listed below. To assist you in building the recommended level of knowledge, where possible, we've delineated which courses could serve as the basic foundation in a particular area and which courses would provide additional study. It should be noted that the list below provides courses from which students can select. It is not necessary to complete them all, as long as you have selected courses from each of the six pri-mary areas. However, because many graduate programs have specific course requirements, you should be sure to consult the particular program requirements listed in Graduate Study in Psychology.
