PC2PC15W and PC300 (Fall course) are prerequisites for PC307W (Spring course) and for PC407. PC307W is a prerequisite for PC410W, PC411W, and PC412W (senior year). PC407 is a prerequisite for PC411W (senior year).

Although an internship is not required, it is strongly recommended for (and counts as) a PC upper-level elective for the B.A. in Psychology, B.S. in Psychology and the minor in Psychology.

Any course numbered above PC201 is considered an upper-level PC course.
