Major Field Exam

All psychology majors must take this exam. Your score on the exam does not affect your grade point average (GPA) or whether you graduate. We use the exam to assess the quality of our program, so it is important to us that you take it and do your best. The results provide evidence that we use to assure accrediting bodies that our program should be reaccredited.

Plan take the exam during the last semester you take psych courses. At the beginning of the semester, the undergraduate committee will select dates and times the test will be offered.

Signing up for the test
