All of the credits in the requirements described here will apply to the 180 total credits and the 62 upper division credits, but you may need additional "elective" credits to reach these totals. The number of electives needed varies. Consider filling electives with a second major or minor or by doing an internship. Catalog Year EligibilityRequirements occasionally change, especially in the major, and you may have the option to follow different requirements. You may select the requirements in any catalog/Bulletin going back to the first year you attended an accredited college in the U.S., as long as you graduate within seven years of that year (e.g., the 2021-2022 catalog/Bulletin expires in Summer 2028). Most students use the requirements that are in place when they enter PSU. Talk with your advisor about which catalog requirements might benefit you. Changes to the 2022-23 catalog include addition of the Race and Ethnic Studies Requirement (RESR).
