Abstract
To provide information on psychology curricula in North Carolina, college catalog descriptions of the 42 undergraduate psychology programs in the state were examined. Although most programs (79%) offered only a general psychology baccalaureate degree, 21% offered specially designated degrees and within-degree concentrations, usually in addition to a general degree. When the 63 degree options of these 42 programs were examined, the modal minimum introductory, methodological, and capstone requirements were found to be a 1–term introductory course, a 1–term statistics course, a 1–term experimental design course, and I integrative experience, which was most often a history and systems course or a senior seminar. These components are very similar to those of the model undergraduate curriculum recommended by Brewer et al. (1993).Keywords
