Psychology Minor
Students selecting Psychology as a minor must first pass PSYC 2301 General Psychology with a grade of “C” or better. If this course is used to fulfil either the 080 or 090 component area of the General Education core, it may be replaced with any psychology elective. Subsequently, (18) semester credit hours are required through enrollment in six specified courses. One elective course in psychology may be taken to replace PSYC 2317 Basic Statistics if the student has already completed a math statistics course or a statistics course in their major. The specified courses are as follows:
| Code | Title | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| PSYC 2301 | General Psychology | 3 |
| PSYC 2314 | Life Span Developmental Psychology | 3 |
| PSYC 2316 | Psychology of Personality | 3 |
| PSYC 2317 | Basic Statistics | 3 |
| PSYC 2320 | Abnormal Psychology | 3 |
| PSYC 3335 | African American Psychology | 3 |
| PSYC 4330 | Learning and Behavior | 3 |
| Total Hours | 21 | |
The elective courses may be selected from one of the following three-credit courses:
| Code | Title | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| PSYC 2319 | Social Psychology | 3 |
| PSYC 2330 | Biological Psychology | 3 |
| PSYC 3332 | Industrial and Organizational Psychology | 3 |
| PSYC 3366 | Psychological Testing | 3 |
| PSYC 4315 | Cognitive Psychology | 3 |
| PSYC 4339 | Abnormal Child Psychology | 3 |
| PSYC 4397 | Selected Topics in Psychology | 3 |
| PSYC 4398 | Independent Study in Psychology | 3 |
Students must earn grades of “C” or better in the seven (7) courses constituting the minor. As is the case for the major in Psychology, minor courses completed by a Psychology Major in another academic discipline must be completed with grades of “C” or better, where grades of “C-“ or below are unacceptable.
