This minor is designed to provide the student with the foundational education in applied psychology, including the scientific nature of psychological knowledge and how enhanced knowledge of psychological principles can be applied in various real-world settings.
The Minor in Applied Psychology can serve as a supplemental course of study to your major, providing you with a solid foundation in understanding human behavior and how that knowledge can be applied to your life and your career.
All minor courses must be completed with a minimum grade of C-, and a 2.0 grade point average must be maintained in courses for the minor. Two courses must be at the upper level (600 or 700). Only 8 credits may overlap between major and minor.
