There are TWO OPTIONS:

2.) take two topical lab courses concurrently with their corresponding lectures (listed above).
*NOTE: BC1010 is not required, however, if taken it must be completed prior to all other higher level PSYC labs; and a student must have completed or be concurrently enrolled in BC1001, or its equivalent.
For students satisfying Barnard's Foundations requirements:
Same as above, but only one laboratory course is required with the two lectures. Again, lectures must be from different groups.
Notes:
- Be aware that some laboratory courses are offered each semester, and some only once per year.
- You can take a course to satisfy a GED requirement (in this case, a psychology laboratory) for a P/D/F grade. This is a College rule, and not a Departmental one.
- Psychology Laboratory Attendance Policy
- You must attend every laboratory meeting. You are allowed only two excused absences.
- You may not arrive late. You may not depart before you complete the day's procedure.
- Refer to the College Catalogue for more information on Requirements for a Liberal Arts Degree.
