Requirements
As part of the eleven (11) courses comprising the Psychology and the Psychology/Clinical concentration (Major) requirements, two (2) courses should be Related Field courses approved by the Department. The intent of this part of the major requirement is to have the student explore, in some depth, at least one other academic discipline with theories or methods related to Psychology. Beginning level courses, such as those often used to meet Distribution requirements, do not count as Related Field courses. However, in a number of departments, a large array of advanced courses does count as indicated below. Exceptions or additions to these listed courses may be obtained, for good reasons, by petitioning the Department of Psychology. We will examine the required prerequisites for the petitioned course that demonstrate that it is beyond the beginning level, as well as the relationship of the topics covered to Psychology. Since most Experimental College courses do not have prerequisites, they rarely count as Related Field courses. Of course, the Related Field courses must be taken for a grade.

The current belief that extra Psychology courses (more than the required nine) can be substituted for Related Field courses is FALSE. However, when a student minors or “double majors” in a department offering Related Field courses, courses may be used for both purposes, even though those courses are also counting toward a Minor or another Major. It is recommended, but not required, that both Related Field courses be taken in the same department. Some of the courses below are cross-listed in more than one department. If it is listed below under any department, the course counts toward the Related Field Requirement – regardless of the department in which the student actually registered for the course. However, any course that is cross-listed as a Psychology course is not eligible for Related Field credit. Finally, courses given a few years ago that are no longer listed in the current Bulletin of Tufts University are generally not found in the following list. Please consult the Department of Psychology if you took such a course that should count toward this requirement.
