About

Psychology is the basic and applied science of mind and behavior. Psychologists use the methods of both natural and social science to advance our knowledge and understanding of thought, emotion, and behavior in humans and other organisms. Psychologists also apply this knowledge to improve the conditions of individuals and society. The Department of Psychological and Brian Sciences offer two majors in psychology, a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.).

MINOR: Psychology (15 credits)

A minor is open to all students and requires 5 courses and 15 credits.

Program Notes:

  • Courses that fulfill minor requirements may be used to fulfill other requirements (i.e., primary major, core curriculum, minors, concentrations, or free electives).
  • Courses taken on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis cannot be used to satisfy requirements for the minor.
  • No more than two prior approved psychology courses may be taken at another institution (AP courses, transfer courses, courses taken abroad, etc.) and be counted toward the minor.
