Principles include organizational culture, stress and conflict in the workplace, and maintaining psychological health within the context of work and organizations.
The Minor in Organizational Psychology can serve as a supplemental course of study to your major, providing you with a solid foundation in understanding how various psychological principles involving individual, group, and organizational behavior are applied in a business setting.
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.
