Different areas of our department emphasize different coursework, but we recommend that prospective students choosing classes include Introductory Psychology and coursework drawn from the following areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Elementary Statistics<\/li>\n<li>Research Methods<\/li>\n<li>Biological Foundations &#8211; including coursework such as Comparative Psychology, Behavioral Neuroscience, Sensation and Perception, Learning and Memory, Cognitive Psychology, or Motivation and Emotion<\/li>\n<li>Developmental, Social, and Personality Foundations &#8211; including coursework such as Developmental Psychology, Social Psychology, Abnormal Psychology, Personality<\/li>\n<li>Cognitive Foundations &#8211; including coursework such as Learning, Memory, and Intelligence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>More advanced or specialized courses in psychology (e.g., Neuropsychology, Behavior Genetics, Advanced Statistics, Adolescence, Cognitive Development, Interpersonal Relations, Criminal Psychology, Psychology and Law, Organizational Psychology) are desirable, as are courses in the biological, physical, and social sciences and in mathematics. Students with outstanding records, but with less background in psychology will also be considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n\n          <\/ul>\n  \n  \n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n      \n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--accordions \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--accordions\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      <div class=\"header-container\">\n\n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--section-title\">\n\n    \n  <h2>\n          Admissions FAQs &#038; Resources\n      <\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n      \n      \n      \n    <\/div>\n  \n      <ul>\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-1-JgRkrIZ9in\" aria-controls=\"section-1-1-JgRkrIZ9in\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">Application Tips and Resources<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-1-JgRkrIZ9in\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-1-JgRkrIZ9in\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p><a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/psyc\/admissions-3-update\/\">Applying to a Psychology PhD Program<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-2-JgRkrIZ9in\" aria-controls=\"section-1-2-JgRkrIZ9in\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">Queries about Transcripts, Financial Aid (other than department support), Official GRE reports, Bachelor degree (four-year requirement)<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-2-JgRkrIZ9in\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-2-JgRkrIZ9in\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p>Please direct all questions to the Office of Graduate Admissions\u00a0<a class=\"links\" href=\"http:\/\/uscesd.custhelp.com\/app\/home\">\u201c<span style=\"color: #990000;\">Ask USC<\/span>\u201d\u00a0<\/a>portal (under Graduate Admission).
