Minor in Psychology
The Psychology Program develops a balanced appreciation for the
discipline as a science (which seeks to discover general
principles of human experience and behavior), and as an art (which
effectively applies these principles to the unique individual).
The Program aims to provide information, activities, and
demonstrations that provide the motivation and thinking tools to
explore the interface between the mind and a person’s body,
values, family, and culture.Psychology Required Courses - 22 semester hours
