Spanish term (edited):
se le da por cursada Historia de la Psicologia.
the student is considered as having met the requirements for a degree in the History of Psychology
This would be the language typically used in an academic transcript or diploma, at least in the US.
"Course" will not work, since this term is typically used (again, at least in US English) to refer to *a single class* and not *a program of study* (which is clearly the intention here).

At any rate, it sounds to me like "Historia de Psicologia" refers here to a *degree program* and not a single course.
The Asker should be in a position to know which case applies here.
