The psychology minor provides an introduction to the theories and practices of the field. Students learn the overarching themes of psychology to develop a working knowledge of scientific reasoning, interpret key themes, conduct basic psychological research and adopt values that build community at local, national and global levels. Students learn sound analytical skills and gain a strong foundation in life sciences, social sciences and the humanities.  

A psychology minor helps lay the groundwork for successful employment after graduation in fields such as human services, management, counseling, student affairs, criminology and law. Pre-health students* often find psychology to be an ideal addition to a primary area of study while pursuing medicine, pharmacy, physical therapy and nursing, among other fields.  

*Pre-health students in particular may benefit from the interdisciplinary neuroscience degrees  offered at the university.
