In Experimental Psychology, you read research reports that present statistical results, conduct and interpret statistical results, and write reports of statistical results. You cannot do this if you do not understand statistics. Please follow the prerequisites listed in the catalog and DO NOT ask your advisor or someone else to ignore those prerequisites they are there for YOUR benefit. The major requirements were developed by the psychology faculty based upon their years of experience and the recommendations of various psychological associations. There are no courses that substitute for required major courses.
Psychology is a large, diverse field.
If you do not take one of the required major courses, then you will have an incomplete understanding of psychology. This is forever haunt you as you attempt to apply psychology and as you attempt to qualify for graduate school. You should take courses that will help you in your later career or in graduate school. If you want to work to children and other troubled persons, then courses in social work, sociology, and similar areas would be helpful. If you want to be a researcher in cognitive psychology, then you should consider courses in biology and computers.
