ACADEMIC MAP (Effective Summer 2024 and after)
*Please Note: Face-to-face/in-person instruction of this program is available at BOTH the main campus in Tallahassee, FL and the Panama City, FL campus. This program is NOT available via Online/Distance Learning.*
This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The General Education and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area and diversity requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses.

If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.
To be admitted into Psychology, you must have completed at least 52 hours and have earned a “C minus“ or better in each of the Admission Prerequisite Courses (PSY2012, a general biology course, & statistics).
**Effective Summer 2024, the Term 1-4 milestones will include the successful completion of PSY2012, a general biology course, a statistics course, and a lower-level psychology course.**
Psychology uses scientific methods to attempt to understand, predict, and control behavior. The study of human behavior and animal behavior are two broad categories of specialization. Further areas of specialization are possible within each category and can be matched to career aspirations. The undergraduate program offers a broad background in many areas of psychology and is flexible enough for advanced students to specialize in an area of special interest to the student. Qualified students are encouraged to work in the department’s human and animal research labs and to participate in the department’s research on school and clinical problems in applied settings.

The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The General Education and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area and diversity requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Off-track) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major.

The program involves an interdisciplinary approach to the development, financing, and marketing of real estate. Students are exposed to theoretical concepts from urban land economics, economics, consumer behavior, appraisal, investment analysis, and risk theory. The real estate process is analyzed based on this background. The program develops a systematic methodology for investment and valuation analysis within a framework that acknowledges the impact of taxation, risk, financing structure, governmental constraints, and market context. This framework provides the basis for examining decisions involving real property investment from the developer, lender, and consumer perspectives.
Students should complete diversity requirements through their General Education coursework.

*Please Note: Face-to-face/in-person instruction of this program is available at BOTH the main campus in Tallahassee, FL and the Panama City, FL campus. This program is NOT available via Online/Distance Learning.*
