Psychology Minor

Requirements for a Minor in Psychology

Six courses are required: PSYC 051 PO  and PSYC 157 PO ; one laboratory course (selected from PSYC 143 PO , PSYC 154 PO , PSYC 160 PO , PSYC 162 PO , and PSYC 163 PO ), two electives and a seminar (selected from the PSYC180 A-Z series).

Normally, up to two psychology courses that count toward a student’s major can be used for the psychology minor. In order to ensure multiple areas of intellectual inquiry, a minor in psychology cannot be combined with a major in Psychology/Public Policy Analysis, Psychology/Gender & Women’s Studies or STS with an emphasis in psychology.

All courses for the minor must be taken for a letter grade. A score of 4 or 5 on the AP exam, or a 6 or 7 on the IB exam in psychology plus an additional elective may be substituted for the PSYC 051 PO  requirement.
