Abstract
Continuing research with a 60-year history, we read 400 college catalogs and identified the most frequently listed undergraduate psychology courses for 4 institutional types. Results suggested ongoing segmentation in the research methodology and developmental areas, with an increasing number of courses listed in each. Experimental content courses (e.g., experimental, biological), clinical (e.g., abnormal, personality), and social/developmental courses are listed with about equal frequencies, and no movement toward additional vocational content is evident. We noted emerging subdisciplinary areas and courses.Keywords
