The Department of Psychology has structured its advanced laboratory courses to satisfy that requirement. In these laboratory courses, students run multiple experiments, collect and analyze data quantitatively, and write up the results in a standard journal article format, integrating the results with a critical survey of relevant professional literature. The Systems and Foundations courses are non-laboratory, upper-level courses designed to provide in-depth knowledge on specific topics in psychology. Students are welcome to take additional Systems and Foundations courses as electives.<\/p>\n<table class=\"sc_courselist\">\n<caption class=\"hidden noscript\">Course List<\/caption>\n<colgroup>\n<col class=\"codecol\"\/>\n<col class=\"titlecol\"\/>\n<col align=\"char\" char=\".\" class=\"hourscol\"\/>\n<\/colgroup>\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"hidden noscript\">\n<th scope=\"col\">Code<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Title<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\" class=\"hourscol\">Credits<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"even firstrow\"><td class=\"codecol\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.uwm.edu\/search\/?search=PSYCH 502\">PSYCH\u00a0502<\/a><\/td><td>Applied Behavior Analysis<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">4<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr class=\"odd\"><td class=\"codecol\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.uwm.edu\/search\/?search=PSYCH 505\">PSYCH\u00a0505<\/a><\/td><td>Cognitive Processes<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">4<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr class=\"even\"><td class=\"codecol\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.uwm.edu\/search\/?search=PSYCH 623\">PSYCH\u00a0623<\/a><\/td><td>Perceptual Processes<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">4<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr class=\"odd\"><td class=\"codecol\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.uwm.edu\/search\/?search=PSYCH 654\">PSYCH\u00a0654<\/a><\/td><td>Advanced Behavioral Neuroscience<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">4<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr class=\"even\"><td class=\"codecol\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.uwm.edu\/search\/?search=PSYCH 656\">PSYCH\u00a0656<\/a><\/td><td>Psychophysiology<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">4<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr class=\"odd\"><td class=\"codecol\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.uwm.edu\/search\/?search=PSYCH 660\">PSYCH\u00a0660<\/a><\/td><td>Experimental Child Psychology<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">4<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr class=\"even lastrow\"><td class=\"codecol\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.uwm.edu\/search\/?search=PSYCH 677\">PSYCH\u00a0677<\/a><\/td><td>Experimental Social Psychology<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">4<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<h2>Cross-Listed Courses<\/h2>\n<p>One of the following courses offered by other academic units may be used to fulfill requirements of the undergraduate major in psychology (in Systems and Foundations):<\/p>\n<table class=\"sc_courselist\">\n<caption class=\"hidden noscript\">Course List<\/caption>\n<colgroup>\n<col class=\"codecol\"\/>\n<col class=\"titlecol\"\/>\n<col align=\"char\" char=\".\" class=\"hourscol\"\/>\n<\/colgroup>\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"hidden noscript\">\n<th scope=\"col\">Code<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Title<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\" class=\"hourscol\">Credits<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"even firstrow\"><td class=\"codecol\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.uwm.edu\/search\/?search=BIO SCI 455\">BIO\u00a0SCI\u00a0455<\/a><\/td><td>Cellular, Molecular and Developmental Neurobiology<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr class=\"odd\"><td class=\"codecol\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.uwm.edu\/search\/?search=BUS ADM 442\">BUS\u00a0ADM\u00a0442<\/a><\/td><td>Industrial Psychology<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr class=\"even lastrow\"><td class=\"codecol\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.uwm.edu\/search\/?search=LINGUIS 440\">LINGUIS\u00a0440<\/a><\/td><td>Psycholinguistics<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-u-flex uwm-u-flex--wrap uwm-u-flex--left\">\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-u-mr-20 uwm-u-mb-20 uwm-c-link--external\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/letters-science\/students\/current-undergraduate-students\/degree-requirements\/\" rel=\"\">College of Letters &amp;

Science Advising<\/h2> <p>During your time at UWM, you may have multiple members of your success team, including advisors, peer mentors and success coaches. Letters &amp; Science students typically work with at least two different types of advisors as they pursue their degrees: professional college advisors and faculty advisors. L&amp;S college advisors advise across your entire degree program while departmental faculty advisors focus on the major.<\/p> <p>College advisors are located in Holton Hall (or virtually for online students) and serve as your primary advisor. They are your point person for your questions about navigating college and completing your degree. College advisors will:<\/p> <ul> \t<li>Assist you in defining your academic and life goals.<\/li> \t<li>Help you create an educational plan that is consistent with those goals.<\/li> \t<li>Assist you in understanding curriculum, major and degree requirements for graduation, as well as university policies and procedures.<\/li> \t<li>Provide you with information about campus and community resources and refer you to those resources as appropriate.<\/li> \t<li>Monitor your progress toward graduation and completion of requirements.<\/li> <\/ul> <p>Faculty advisors mentor students in the major and assist them in maximizing their development in the program. You will begin working with a faculty advisor when you declare your major. Faculty advisors are an important partner and will:<\/p> <ul> \t<li>Help you\u00a0understand major requirements and course offerings in the department.\u00a0<\/li> \t<li>Explain opportunities for internships and undergraduate research and guide you in obtaining those experiences.<\/li> \t<li>Serve as an excellent resource as you consider potential graduate programs and career paths in your field.<\/li> <\/ul> <p>Students are encouraged to meet with both their college advisor and faculty advisor at least once each semester. Appointments are available in-person, by phone or by video.\u00a0<\/p> <p>Currently enrolled students should use the <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.navigate.eab.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Navigate360 website<\/a>\u00a0to make an appointment with your assigned advisor or call (414) 229-4654 if you do not currently have an assigned Letters &amp; Science advisor.\u00a0Prospective students who haven't enrolled in classes yet should call (414) 229-7711 or email\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:let-sci@uwm.edu\" target=\"_blank\">let-sci@uwm.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/advisingtext>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"tab-psychology-major-ba-online-careers\" class=\"uwm-p-tabcontent--pane\">\n<p>A psychology bachelor\u2019s degree opens doors to a wide range of professional paths with organizations such as non-profits, social service agencies, municipal and government offices, law firms, media companies, ad agencies and sports teams.
