CLAS Council; Dr. Mary Ayala, Dean CLAS
From: Dr. Daniel Acheson-Brown; Dr. Leslie Gill
Re:
Catalog Changes for Psychology, 2013-2015 Undergraduate Catalog
The following proposed changes are for the PSYCHOLOGY Program Undergraduate Catalog
curriculum. All changes have been approved by the Psychology and Political Science faculty.
Summary, nature, and justification of PSCI catalog changes
1. Change: clean up wording in program description
Nature: Editorial
Justification: improve wording
2. Change: Add lower division service course, PSY 2XX Human Growth and
Development; this course is also added as a Developmental Psychology area option for
majors and minors. **REQUEST NUMBER 200 to match with Ruidoso, if possible**
Nature: Substantive
Justification: Course previously developed as PSY 293 TPS Lifespan as service for NURS
and CDIS; NURS specifically needs a development course that covers the lifespan and the
previously offered topics course has (1) required substitutions as it is a Topics course, and
(2) been attempted in addition to the CCC, Roswell & Ruidoso courses titled “Human
Growth and Development” when both cover the same material. Thus, the addition of this
course is necessary as service course and to clear up the issue of taking the same course
twice and not knowing it. Rotation includes regular faculty and previously used Adjunct, so
will not require additional resources.
3. Change: Delete PSY 335 Intro to Psych Statistics (3) and add PSY 337 Experimental
Psychology I (3) in its place.
NOTE: THE NEW COURSE NUMBER OF 337 HAS BEEN PREAPPROVED
THROUGH ACADEMIC SERVICES (NEELY & WALL EMAIL ON 11/26/12)
Nature: Substantive
Justification: The content of the two-semester sequence of 335 & 336 required for
Psychology majors is being integrated into a more cohesive two-semester sequence with
both semesters covering experimental design issues including use and interpretation of
descriptive and inferential statistics in behavioral research, as well as conducting literature
reviews, APA format, research ethics, experimental methodology and design, and
conducting experiments. CDIS was consulted on this change and will still require this first
semester of the sequence, Experimental Psychology I. Additionally, this change is
supported by changes to Math 106 and STAT 213 that allow for a more applied and
integrated approach to how statistics are used and interpreted in behavioral experiments. No
change in resources or rotation required. No net changes in required credit hours.
4. Change: Delete PSY 336 Experimental Psychology (3) and add PSY 338
Experimental Psychology II (3) in its place.
NOTE: THE NEW COURSE NUMBER OF 338 HAS BEEN PREAPPROVED
THROUGH ACADEMIC SERVICES (NEELY & WALL EMAIL ON 11/26/12)
Nature: Substantive
Justification: The content of the two-semester sequence of 335 & 336 required for
PSY 1- 4 of 22
Psychology majors is being integrated into a more cohesive two-semester sequence with
both semesters covering experimental design issues including use and interpretation of
descriptive and inferential statistics in behavioral research, as well as conducting literature
reviews, APA format, research ethics, experimental methodology and design, and
conducting experiments. Experimental Psychology II which requires designing and
conducting a psychological experiment will be more feasible with the integrated approach
to the first semester in the sequence, allowing for more support and time to develop the
research idea and carry it out. This integrated approach better support current program goals
and assessment outcomes and is in line with current APA undergraduate curriculum
guidelines. No change in resources or rotation required. No net changes in required credit
hours.
5. Change: Add course PSY 4XX Developmental Psychopathology (3).
Nature: Substantive
Justification: This change allows for development of upper division course in new faculty
area of expertise while also providing a service course option for CDIS. The content of the
course is specifically designed address behavioral issues and a training component to
provide more in-depth application of issues in identifying and managing developmental
problems. This course is developed pursuant to deleting PSY 430 and its content will
address some of the issues CDIS requested in light of deleting PSY 430. The new course
may also become available through distance ed (media site or online with ad hoc lecture
capture). The course will be an upper division elective option for psychology majors. It will
not require additional resources (no net increase in credit hours or curricular offerings) and
will be offered Sp semesters (see rotation matrix).
6. Change: Delete PSY 430 Seminar in Behavior Analysis (3).
Nature: Substantive
Justification: This change is necessary to balance the addition of Developmental
Psychopathology (#5 above).
7. Change: Add PSY 4XX Senior Seminar: Psychology Major Capstone (2).
Nature: Substantive
Justification: The addition of this course as a requirement for psychology majors is
necessary to provide a culminating experience for all psychology majors and to link that
experience to program outcomes assessment. This requirement is not only in line with APA
undergraduate curriculum core requirements, it also is in line with current University
academic outcomes assessment and the psychology program assessment plan development.
Although it will add 2 required credit hours to the core psychology major requirements, this
change is balanced by decreasing the psychology electives requirements from 9 credit hours
to 6 credit hours, so that the overall net change in psychology major credit hours is from 41
hrs in previous catalog down to 40 cr hrs in this proposal for the 2013-2015 catalog.
Additional faculty resources are not required as current faculty will offer this course along
with PSY 206 (1 cr hr) each semester beginning in Fall 2014 (see rotation matrix).
8. Change: delete PSY 430 as an option within the Learning/Cognitive area requirement
course options– new Learning/Cognitive area requirement is choose one of two where
the two are PSY 302 Learning or PSY 435 Cognition.
Nature: Editorial related to substantive change #6 above
PSY 1-5 of 22
Justification: This change is necessary due to deleting PSY 430 (see #6 above).
9. Change: edit PSY 302 Learning course description to change course rotation to Fall
only so that it alternates with PSY 435 Cognition.
Nature: Editorial
Justification: This change is necessary due to deleting PSY 430 (see #6 above) and
allowing for an appropriate course rotation between PSY 302 and 435.
10. Change: various course description edits (prerequisite numbers, rotations)
PSY 435 Cognition course description to change course rotation to Spring only so that
it alternates with PSY 302 Learning;
update prerequisites (PSY 411, 443, 495)
Nature: Editorial
Justification: Changes necessary due to curriculum revisions.
11. Change: decrease psychology electives major requirement from 9 credit hours 6 of
which must be upper division to 6 upper division psychology electives.
Nature: Substantive
Justification: This change is necessary to balance the addition of senior capstone major
requirement (see #7 above).
12. Change: add PSY 324 or 337 as additional prerequisite for PSY 467 Physiological
Psychology.
Nature: Substantive
Justification: Currently only PSY 101 is a prerequisite and this change would emphasize
the need to be prepared for the rigor of this course. The choice between either 324 or 337 as
an additional prerequisite will allow flexibility in meeting the prerequisite as PSY 467 is
required for the minor (and 337 is not required for the minor but 324 is) and is also an
option for CDIS (where 337 is required but 324 is not).
Identification of other units that were consulted
CDIS, NURS, MATH/STAT
Both Roswell and Ruidoso campuses were informed of proposed changes.
Impact of proposed catalog revisions
Proposed changes will decrease credit hour requirements for Psychology major from 41 to 40.
Psychology minor is not impacted (remains 21 cr hrs). CDIS and NURS have been consulted and
support these changes insofar as the changes impact their programs. Input from Roswell and Ruidoso
did not indicate any problems with changes. Ruidoso supported the request for same number (200) for
the 2XX Human Growth and Development to facilitate advising across campuses.

Psychology
Psychology offers the Associate of Arts, the Bachelor of Science or the Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology. The [Psychology]
faculty in Psychology are committed to a [teaching] philosophy of teaching that encourages understanding and appreciation of
[the scientific study of] individuals, their unique array of talents and skills, and their cultural heritage. In addition, the faculty are
committed to accurate disclosure of professional training requirements for psychologists and to giving clear advising on career
options in fields related to psychology, such as counseling.
Psychology requires that practitioners receive graduate level training in order to practice professionally. Thus, a bachelor’s
degree in psychology, from this University or any other, does not prepare the student for a professional career in psychology (or
counseling) without further [education and] training.
Upon declaring a major in psychology all students should meet with a member of the psychology faculty immediately for
advising. PSY 206 Psychology Major Orientation must be taken within two (regular fall/spring) semesters of declaring a major in
Psychology.
