The four courses of “Epistemology”, “Introduction to Islamic Philosophy”, “Psychology from the perspective of Muslim thinkers”, and "Philosophy of Science in Psychology" in the undergraduate program of psychology are dedicated to philosophical topics. By selecting the appropriate topics for students and observing the correct order, the efficiency of these topics should be increased. In this paper, after reviewing the status and reasons for learning philosophical topics in the psychology curriculum, the approved topics of these four review courses and the suggested topics and sources are presented. In this study, several points have been seriously considered: (1) the audience is a student of psychology, not a student of philosophy, (2) in each course, there are several main approaches, which should be selected as an appropriate approach to psychology students, (3) other courses related to these topics should be considered in the psychology curriculum, (4) the order of presentation of the courses needs to be reviewed, (5) the topics should be selected according to the number of hours, and (6) despite the publication of new works, There is still work to be done to compile and publish appropriate textbooks for psychology students.
