Dr. Bowers: CHP now requires our applicants to have at least 3 of 5 required courses vis a vis APA requirements: Social, Developmental, Physio- neuroscience, Cognitive, Affective bases behavior (not abnormal or personality) Require 9 credits from a PSY list in our electives? (Reduces revenue flow and also creates appearance of overlap) Require as prereq? (12 credits of PSY pre-req is a LOT, and most of the courses are at junior-senior level, which will not time well with our junior-senior program) Create similar courses ourselves?
