What is Psi Chi?

Psi Chi is the National Honor Society in Psychology, founded in 1929 for the purposes of encouraging,
stimulating, and maintaining excellence in scholarship, and advancing the science of psychology.
Membership is open to graduate and undergraduate men and women who are making the study
of psychology one of their major interests, and who meet the minimum qualifications. Psi Chi
is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies and is an affiliate of the American
Psychological Association (APA) and the American Psychological Society (APS)

To be eligible for Psi Chi students need to meet all the following requirements:

1. Declared Psychology major.
2. Must have completed at least 3 full credit Psychology courses. (Neuro 234 will count as
one of the three Psych courses, AP credit does not count as one of the three necessary courses
and 126 counts as .25 credit).
3. Have a Psychology G.P.A. of 3.3 or higher.
4. Have an overall G.P.A. that puts you in the top 35% of your class (typically 3.3 or 3.4 or higher).

This differs from the calculation of Psychology G.P.A. (Differences are noted in italics)
1. AP credit does not count as one of the Psychology Courses.
2. There is no rounding up.
3. All Psychology transfer courses are figured into the Psych G.P.A..
4. 126 counts as .25 completed course credit.
5. Neuro 234 does count in the calculation of the Psi Chi GPA..
6. Biology, Sociology & Anthropology and Statistics courses do not count towards Psi Chi grade point average.
