Abnormal Psychology has a new name!

As you register your class schedule for next year, the Department of Psychology and Behavioral Sciences would like you to know that there has been a course title change which may be of interest to you. Psychology 3033, previously known as Abnormal Psychology, is now called Introduction to Psych Disorders. (If you’ve already taken this class as the previous listing, the new one is the same class, so it will not be counted as a separate course, just a retake of your earlier enrollment).

The title change is intended to align RCU’s curriculum with the ever-changing standards of the field of psychology, which now recognizes that “normality” is a strictly statistical term, and that this course focuses more on specific mental health conditions. The course is scheduled online in the Fall 2025 semester. We hope to see you then!
