Course Offerings

Respondents were asked to indicate courses that were offered by their department. The following data indicate course offerings in order of overall frequency. It should be noted that inconsistencies in course titles might reflect underreporting of actual course offerings. For example, courses in Research Methods and Experimental Psychology may have overlapping content. Similarly Child Psychology and Developmental Psychology or Cross Cultural Psychology and Multi-Cultural Psychology may be different titles for essentially the same course.
