Minor in Psychology

A minimum of 20-quarter hours of psychology, including 10 quarter hours of 2000-3000 level courses is required for a minor. These 20 hours must be passed at a C- or greater, and students must have a minor GPA across all psychology classes of 2.0 or better. Students must complete SOCS 1710, Psychology: Mind and Behavior (or equivalent), which may count for the SOCS foundation requirement OR the minor, but not both. Students must also take one course each from 2 of the 5 categories for the BA degree (i.e., Development, Cognition, Neuroscience, Social, or Clinical). If students have completed the SOCS Foundations requirement and count either it for the minor they may have 19 credits instead of the required 20 (4 credits of Psychology: Mind and Behavior and 15 credits of PSYC). In this case, speak with a department advisor about requesting a waiver of the one credit hour.
