The number of students who want to major in Psychology exceeds the number who can be adequately instructed by the faculty. There are likely to be more students who will be eligible to apply to the Psychology major than can be admitted, so meeting the minimum hour and GPA requirements is not a guarantee of admission to the Psychology major. A number of criteria will be used to determine which applicants will be admitted to the major. The primary criteria will be overall GPA and hours taken at UT-Austin. Other factors that will be considered include the types of courses taken (with preference given to Psychology and related disciplines, e.g., Mathematics, Biological Sciences, Philosophy, and Social Sciences), and other evidence of long-term interest in Psychology (e.g., participation in laboratory research, work in health or human services, etc.).
