Students take two experimental seminars in years 3 or 4. One of the experimental seminars must be in an area relevant to social psychology and interpersonal relationships. This course must be drawn from courses with the numbering PSYC 722 to PSYC 727. The other experimental seminar must be in the area of one of the following topics: cognition, learning, sensation, perception, thinking, motivation, or emotion. This course must be drawn from the following course numbers: PSYC 532, PSYC 716 to 721, or PSYC 740 to PSYC 745. It is possible that Psychology courses with other course numbers or courses in other departments could fulfill these requirements. A student wishing to take a course with a different course number to fulfill one of these requirements should discuss the appropriateness of the course with the Director of Clinical Training; if the course seems suitable, the student will be asked to make a formal written request including a course description to the Clinical Committee.
