Program Description

Students pursuing a Psychology Minor gain an understanding of a range of basic processes in Psychological Science that enable people, animals, as well as machines and forms of artificial intelligence, to make sense of, navigate, and respond to their social and physical environments.

Students in colleges other than the College of Arts and Sciences are eligible to minor in psychology. Admission to the psychology minor is usually granted to any undergraduate who is in good standing and who has passed three or more psychology courses with grades of C+ or better. Provisional admission requires two such courses. Given the high overlap in content, students majoring in either Psychology or in Human Development, or minoring in Human Development, cannot pursue a Psychology Minor.

To apply to the minor and receive an advisor, students should submit a psychology minor application form, which should be completed and e-mailed to Lisa Proper. Successful completion of the minor will be noted on a student's official transcript.
