EOU Online students must be admitted to the Psychology Program. <\/strong>Program admission requires the successful completion (a grade of C- or higher) of the following courses: PSY 201, PSY 202, PSY 222, PSY 223, STAT 327, PSY 303, and one other 300 level psychology course offered by Eastern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li> <div align=\"left\">Transfer courses from another college or university must be approved by a member of Eastern&#8217;s psychology faculty. This approval must be documented on your program admission form.<\/div> <\/li><li> <div align=\"left\">The program admission forms are available from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eou.edu\/advising\/advisingforms\/#Admit \">Advising website<\/a> list (&#8220;Admit to Program Psychology Online&#8221;) and should be completed with your advisor.&nbsp; Admit to Program forms should be submitted to Dr. Timmermann (dtimmerm@eou.edu) as soon as the required coursework for program admission has been successfully completed; do not submit the form if the required courses have not been finished. <span style=\"color: #000000;\">Psychology program admission is used to plan for the offering of the capstone courses.  It is very important to complete the required coursework and the Admit to Program form early in the student\u2019s program of study.&nbsp;<\/span><\/div> <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. All psychology majors are required to take STAT 327, statistics.<\/strong> Upper division (300 or 400 level) statistics courses taken at another college or university may substitute for STAT 327. If you want a course to be considered a substitute, contact the chair of the EOU Psychology Department.&nbsp;This substitution must be documented on your program admission form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. All 400 level psychology courses have 300 level prerequisites.<\/strong> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; These prerequisites must be completed before enrolling in a 400 level course and can not be taken concurrently.&nbsp; If you have taken an upper division (300 level) course at another university that you believe meets the prerequisite for a 400 level course at Eastern you must receive this approval in writing (or email) from the 400 level course instructor before registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. All of Eastern&#8217;s programs require the completion of University Writing Requirements (UWRs).<\/strong> UWRs are writing intensive courses. For psychology these are: PSY 222 (writing for psychology), PSY 461 or 450 (capstone course), and either PSY 335 (cognitive psychology) or PSY 370 (personality). The PSY 222 course should, if possible, be taken prior to the upper-division psychology courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. <strong>The Psychology capstone has three options:  PSY 461 which has a prerequisite of PSY 460, PSY 450, or PSY 403 (additional criteria). <\/strong><\/strong> The 460 and 461 courses are currently offered Fall (PSY 460) and Winter (PSY 461) terms, respectively, and are limited in enrollment. PSY 460 is the prerequisite course for the degree capstone course PSY 461. Another option is the PSY 450 capstone course which is offered in Spring term.&nbsp; A third possibility is the PSY 403 Honors thesis option, but this requires that students meet a GPA requirement within Psychology and have a full-time faculty member in Psychology who is willing to advise their individualized project.  The 460, 450, or 403 courses have a prerequisite of all the courses needed for an approved Admit to Program Psychology online form&nbsp;(see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eou.edu\/advising\/advisingforms\/#Admit \">Advising website<\/a>) <strong>AND<\/strong> the completion of 25 credits of 300-level PSY electives.&nbsp;&nbsp; Thus, a student must complete the required coursework to submit an Admit to Program form, as well as 25 credits of 300-level PSY electives, before the first term of the capstone sequence (for PSY 460\/461) or before the term of the capstone (PSY 450).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\">Process to Request Registration for Restricted and Closed Online Psychology Courses <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A. Restricted Courses<\/strong>: If a course has open spaces available, a student may find that he\/she cannot register for the course through Webster because of a Student Attribute Restriction. A course may be restricted due to class level (Freshman, Sophomore, etc.), a needed major\/minor declaration, a needed modality status (online vs. on campus), a suppressed CRN, or some other reason. <em><strong>Currently, for online PSY 222 and PSY 223 courses, as well as for upper-division online psychology courses, students need to be online students who are declared as Psychology majors or minors to register through Webster<\/strong><\/em>. If a student would like to request instructor permission to register for a restricted online psychology course with available spaces, an email needs to be sent to the instructor of the course with the following information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\n<div style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Name and EOU ID#<\/div>\n<\/li><li>\n<div style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Whether you are primarily an online or on-campus student<\/div>\n<\/li><li>\n<div style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Expected graduation date<\/div>\n<\/li><li>\n<div style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">The psychology course in which registration is requested<\/div>\n<\/li><li>\n<div style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">The reason(s) for the need for that particular course (for program requirements, course not offered in another modality, personal interest, counts for other program, etc.)<\/div>\n<\/li><li>\n<div style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Institution and term at which any prerequisites for the course (as stated in the EOU catalog) were completed with a grade of C- or higher.<\/div>\n<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>B. Closed Courses<\/strong>: If a course does not have open spaces available, a student can email the instructor of the course to request permission to register for the course. The information in the above list needs to be included in the email request. If permission is granted to add the course, a completed Registration Form (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eou.edu\/registrar\/\">available here<\/a>) needs to be emailed to the instructor as an attachment.<i> <em>Please note \u2013 although Psychology faculty try to accommodate needs for graduating Seniors and new Transfer students, faculty load issues limit the ability of faculty to add students to courses over their set limits.<\/em><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can complete a B.A. or B.S. in Psychology through online courses at EOU.
