Course Requirements
The psychology minor is designed to expose students to a range of perspectives, methodologies
and content areas. In addition to the introductory course (PSYC 1101), students must
select courses from three of the five categories of psychology courses. This provides
sufficient breadth while permitting the students, with advisement, to obtain depth
with the two remaining elective courses.
