Minor in Psychology

• Students planning to minor in psychology should consult an academic advisor for approval of their plans. A minor in psychology requires at least 15 credit hours in psychology.
• Take PSY-P 103 General Psychology (or PSY-P 106 General Psychology Honors) as soon as possible since it is the prerequisite for all other psychology courses.
• PSY-B 190 and PSY-B 399 Human Behavior and Social Institutions and PSY-T 190 Literary and Intellectual Traditions do not count toward the psychology major or minor, nor do they substitute for PSY-P 103 General Psychology as a prerequisite for any other psychology courses.
