The recommended graduation plan is designed to provide a blueprint for students to complete their degrees on time. These plans are the recommended sequences of courses. Students must meet with their Academic Advisor to develop a more individualized plan to complete their degree.<\/p>\n

Through our category system, we cover the major subdisciplines in psychology.\u00a0 The guidelines are organized to help students strengthen their skill sets from lower level to upper-level courses, so that students gain the competencies necessary for graduate school and their post-graduation careers.<\/span><\/p>\n The Psychology Program Core Courses<\/b><\/p>\n There are a few courses that can be considered anchor points within the program. These courses are essential to take at the times suggested in order for you to navigate the program successfully. These include\u00a0Introduction to Psychology,\u00a0<\/span>Statistics<\/span>,\u00a0Research Methods, and\u00a0Data Analysis. These courses will help you to gain entry into other courses, and to understand the content materials in other courses.<\/span><\/p>\n Introduction to Psychology\u00a0is a prerequisite to all other Psychology courses, so it is essential to take it during your first semester as a Psychology Major.<\/span><\/p>\n Statistics\u00a0is a prerequisite for Research Methods and Data Analysis so it is essential to take it during your second\u00a0year (Sophomore year) at Ramapo.<\/span><\/p>\n We strongly encourage you to take Research Methods and Data Analysis (two courses that are taken in the same semester with the same faculty member) in your first semester Junior year if you have completed the prerequisites by that time. Students must have junior or senior standing to register for these courses and have completed Introduction to Psychology and PSYC242 Statistics. At the latest, take Research Methods and Data Analysis during your second semester junior year.<\/span><\/p>\n Psychology Categories:<\/b><\/p>\n The Psychology Program is organized through a category system that provides students with the opportunity to learn within some of the essential and established perspectives within Psychology.\u00a0 The 8 Categories are also organized by level (200 and 300) in some cases.<\/span><\/p>\n Categories 1, 2, and 3 are generally taken earlier on in the program, (with some exceptions, such as Adolescent Psychology and Industrial-Organizational Psychology which need to be taken at junior status).<\/span><\/p>\n Category 4 contains a combination of 200- and 300-level courses, so students\u2019 timing for this category is dependent on whether they wish to take the 200 or 300 level courses available in this category.<\/span><\/p>\n Categories 5 and 6 are generally taken a bit later on in the program, as they are all 300 level courses.<\/span><\/p>\n Categories 7 and 8 are the culmination of the program (Fieldwork and the Capstone course) and are to be taken during the last phases of your work in the program.<\/span><\/p>\n Again, please discuss with your Psychology Advisor which courses and categories best meet your needs.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NOTE: CRWT and MATH courses are determined by placement testing and should be taken following the sequence above.

\n*Ideally, students should be fully admitted into the Teacher Education program by the end of their first year at Ramapo. Transfer students
\nshould be admitted before registration date of their first semester on campus. Students should be directed early to the TE program for
\nadmissions requirements.<\/p>\n
\n346 and EDUC 360 be taken in different semesters as each will require clinical experience hours in schools.<\/p>\n
\nCE1:<\/strong> EDUC 211- 22 hours of clinical experience required in an urban public school setting.
\nCE2:<\/strong> EDUC 222- 20 hours of clinical experience required in a public school setting. Must be admitted into the TE Program by preregistration
\nsemester prior.
\nCE3:<\/strong> 60 hours of clinical experience required in a public school setting. New TB test and possession of a valid substitute teacher license
\nrequired at time of preregistration semester prior.
\nCE4:<\/strong> 20 hours of clinical experience required in a public school setting. New TB test and possession of a valid substitute teacher license
\nrequired at time of preregistration semester prior.<\/p>\n
\ncompletion of the TE Program. Âé¶¹´«Ã½ will fulfill this requirement by continuing to require EDUC 360, a 4 credit course, and will fulfill
\nthe remaining 2 credit equivalent by requiring students to take EDUC 395.
\nFor students who do not take EDUC 395 in addition to EDUC 360, they must complete a minimum of 60 hours of fieldwork while enrolled in
\nEDUC 360. These hours will satisfy the requirement of both the mandated Special Education fieldwork experience and the requirement for 6
\ncredits of Special Education.<\/p>\n
\nthe first semester, students must complete 180 hours of clinical practice requirements; in the spring they must complete 525 hours during Clinical
\nPractice Capstone (student teaching.).<\/p>\n
\nstudents. Please plan accordingly. If transportation is or may be an issue, please visit the TE program offices BEFORE you register for a course that requires a K-12\/off-campus school placement.<\/p>\n
