Psychology Minor

Minor Requirements

The minor in psychology consists of six courses. Students must complete the introductory course PSYC 100 *, a statistics or research methods course (STAT 155 , MATH 354  or PSYC 201 ), and four additional courses beyond the introductory level, selected in consultation with a member of the department. At least one of these courses must be an intermediate course from Group A or Group B (see the catalog description for the psychology major for a list of these courses), and at least one must be an upper level course (numbered greater than 301). Independent projects, internships and preceptorships may be included in the minor only with departmental permission.

*Students can earn credit equivalent to PSYC 100  by scoring a 4 or 5 on the Advanced Placement Exam in Psychology; by scoring a 5, 6, or 7 on the International Baccalaureate Higher-Level exam; or by submitting qualifying GCE A-Level grades. Students who do so are still required to take 6 courses for the minor; i.e., a statistics or research methods courses and five additional courses beyond the introductory level, selected in consultation with a member of the department.
