Psychology Minor

People think, act, and feel—at home, work, and elsewhere. Developing a better understanding of mental and behavioral processes through a minor in psychology is a smart choice personally and professionally. A psychology minor complements many majors and assists in preparing students for a variety of careers, including business, counseling, criminal justice, law, health, and public and social services. Studying psychology will help you develop valued skills and competencies that employers seek, such as critical and analytical thinking; oral, written, and interpersonal communication; and cultural competency. Choosing a minor is not a minor decision. Make your choice count by choosing psychology.
