Concentrations in Psychology allow students of the Psychology department to focus on a specific area of study and study this topic from different perspectives and subject areas. Concentration not only allows students to choose what they want to study, but also helps students to develop specific skills and competences required to build a career in the chosen area. Furthermore, concentration prepares a basis for the senior thesis research, as well as further research in the Master and Doctoral programs.

In order to declare a concentration, student may take at least 24 credits of the corresponding concentration on voluntary basis.

[i] FYS 101, with

IAE (Intensive Academic English)

All students in their first year at AUCA take the First Year Seminar as the foundation course for liberal arts in all university programs, departments and faculties. The course is considered foundational at all Bard-related institutions, including the American University of Central Asia. Students in the FYS 100 course receive 12 credits for successful completion of the class each semester, for a total of 24 credits in an academic year.

Students whose use of English suggests, through testing and freshman orientation, that they may have difficulty in the standard First Year Seminar course may be referred to the special First Year Seminar class, FYS 101, which emphasizes basic reading and discussion skills appropriate for academic success; critical thinking; the use of English for academic purposes, and vocabulary development . The total number of credits for FYS 101 is 12 credits per semester for a yearly total of 24 credits.

In addition to the First Year Seminar 101, students in 101 must register for an auxiliary course called Intensive Academic English (IAE), which is a rigorous course in developing, grammatical and composition (written) skills considered necessary for success in their major. In the second semester of the freshman year, these students will enter the regular FYS stream but continue to take IAE for 6 credits. The yearly total for IAE is 12 credits.

The total commitment in credit-hour terms for FYS 101 and IAE 101 is 18 FYS credits in each semester.

Students selected for enrollment in FYS 101 and IAE 101 must adjust their schedules accordingly, with the understanding that the course is considered a prerequisite to success in their major. While the University will do everything possible to facilitate timely progress toward completion of the major, completion of First Year requirements at the 100 level may entail delaying commencement of some required courses in their major field.

* Student can take course from the list provided by Registrar’s office (such as literature, history, arts, humanities, major courses)

** Students from ECO, EMSD (in LAS) and SFW should not take General Education Quantitative Reasoning (Mathematics) courses. They fulfill their requirements in this area as part of their program requirements.

The General Education Department will offer the following courses that fulfill the General Education Requirements in this area:

Starting with the second semester of the 2015-16 year, this course will be open only to freshmen. For students who take this course and transfer successfully, this is the only required Gen Ed mathematics course. If not (and assuming they pass Introduction to Contemporary Mathematics I), they need to take one of the other courses listed above to fulfill their requirements at some point during their academic career.

2. Students from PSY and SOC departments should take Introduction to Probability and Statistics during their freshman or sophomore year. In their junior year they will take a more advanced quantitative methods course that covers their second quantitative reasoning requirement.

3. Students from ANTH, ES, ICP, JMC, and LAS who do not intend to transfer to BA, ECO, Applied Math, or SFW should take two of the following three courses to fulfill their general education requirements in Mathematics over the course of their four years at AUCA: a) Math for Life I; b) Introduction to Probability and Statistics; c) Introduction to Computer Programming.

The only exceptions are SYS, RUS, or KYR courses, which automatically count for two categories. (For example, a course that is cross-listed as SYS/HUM, will count for both SYS and HUM, etc.)

2) Courses that are Second Year Seminars (SYS), which are also cross-listed (for example: SYS/HUM/ART), will count for both SYS and either HUM or ART.

3) Courses that are taught in Russian or Kyrgyz (RUS or KYR), which are also cross-listed (for example, RUS/HUM/ART, or KYR/HUM/ART), will count for both RUS or KYR and either HUM or ART.

****** Arts courses may overlap with Major, General Education or Elective requirements.
