Psychology (Minor)
The minor in Psychology is designed for students who desire a systematic background in Psychology to complement their major area of study in other departments. It is available to students from the College of Liberal Arts, the College of Sciences and Mathematics or the College of Management.
The minor requirements are:
1) Introduction to Psychology (Psych 101 or 100)
2) Research Methods (Psych 201) or Statistics (Psych z270)
3) Two intermediate level courses from the following options:
(a) Learning and Memory (Psych 350)
(b) Perception (Psych 355)
(c) Behavioral Neuroscience (Psych360)
(d) Personality (Psych 300)
(e) Abnormal Psychology (Psych 3l5)
(f) Social Psychology (Psych 330)
(g) Infancy and Child Development (Psych 34l)
(h) Adolescence (Psych 342)
4) Two advanced level courses (courses at the 300-400 level, with the exception of 300-level intermediate courses listed for #3 (a - h) above and 488, 489, and 496-499)
The intermediate level courses provide broad knowledge of major areas in the discipline and serve as prerequisites to more specialized advanced courses. Minors are advised to select two intermediate level courses that will prepare for advanced courses in an area of interest. The distribution of requirements allows minors to gain some degree of both breadth and depth in Psychology.
