Request for a second round of public comments

The Board of Educational Affairs (BEA) is requesting review and comment on the revised draft of the APA Guidelines for the Undergraduate Psychology Major: Version 3.0. Developed by the BEA Task Force on Psychology Major Competencies, Guidelines 3.0 describes learning goals, outcomes, and indicators at a foundation and baccalaureate level that reflect state-of-the-science curricular and assessment planning in psychology. The BEA Task Force prioritized the selection of outcomes and indicators that are observable and measurable to facilitate program evaluation and promote ongoing scholarship of teaching and learning in psychology. Learning goals were also informed by the extant data on post-graduation career pathways for students who complete an undergraduate degree in psychology and the skills needed for workforce success. The document will be available for a sixty (60) day period of public review and comment.
