MPSY - Minor in Psychology

Baccalaureate degree students may select a minor in a different field of study to complement their major.  An academic minor allows students to expand their educational experience by exploring a particular subject or subjects in sufficient depth to gain competency. By completing a minor, a student can become familiar with an additional area of study which will supplement the expertise gained in the major.

A minor in Psychology provides students with opportunities to think and write critically about the mind, human behavior, and society. Students will be exposed to the application of basic Psychological theories and research in diverse ecological contexts. Studying Psychology will help to further develop students’ preparation for graduate schools and careers in various disciplines.

Core IMPACTS general educations courses and required courses within the major cannot dually count for the minor, but "Field of Study" courses and elective courses within the major can also count for the minor.  If a course is required by name for both the major and minor, then students should take an additional course in the minor to reach the required minimum of 15 credits for a minor.
