The department offers three minors serving different objectives.

  • Industrial Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • General Psychology

Students may not major and minor in psychology. All three minors require 18 hours, including PSYC 2300 . For all minors, a maximum of three hours of independent study, internship, or practicum may be applied to the required hours. Students should be advised that it may take two years to complete a minor since some courses may be offered only every other year.

Industrial Psychology


The remaining 15 hours would be chosen from the following seven courses: applied psychology, personnel psychology, industrial psychology, organizational psychology, human factors psychology, psychology of consumer behavior, psychological tests, and the statistics course (PSYC 2340). A student may substitute a business or mathematics statistics course for psychological statistics. The minor in industrial psychology is designed to complement a variety of majors, including management, marketing, advertising/ public relations, communication, education, sociology, and political science.

Developmental Psychology
