Psychology (Minor)
College of Arts and Sciences
Program Description
Students pursuing a Psychology Minor gain an understanding of a range of basic processes in Psychological Science that enable people, animals, as well as machines and forms of artificial intelligence, to make sense of, navigate, and respond to their social and physical environments.
Academic Standards
Grade Requirements
All courses, except for PSYCH 4700 Undergraduate Research in Psychology and PSYCH 4710 Advanced Undergraduate Research in Psychology, must be taken for a letter grade.
Each course must be completed with a grade of C- or better to count toward the minor.
Minor Declaration Information
Students in colleges other than the College of Arts and Sciences are eligible to minor in psychology. Admission to the psychology minor is usually granted to any undergraduate who is in good standing and who has passed three or more psychology courses with grades of C+ or better. Provisional admission requires two such courses. Given the high overlap in content, students majoring in either Psychology or in Human Development, or minoring in Human Development, cannot pursue a Psychology Minor.
To apply to the minor and receive an advisor, students should submit a psychology minor application form, which should be completed and e-mailed to Emma Herbst. Successful completion of the minor will be noted on a student's official transcript.
