Psychology (Minor)

Why do people and groups think, feel and behave the way they do? Psychology helps us begin to answer those questions—and the Psychology minor offers a broad overview of the key principles of the discipline, along the way encouraging opportunities for reflection as a way to help students pursue emotional, spiritual and academic growth.

Upon completion of the Psychology minor, students will be able to:

  1. Identify some of the key concepts, principles, and overarching themes in psychology.
  2. Apply the scientific method and critical thinking to evaluate psychological research.
  3. Exhibit effective writing skills within the context of the field of psychology.
Minor Requirements

15 semester hours of upper-division courses to be chosen with the approval of the program advisor
