As a psychology major or minor, you will learn psychological theory and methodology and become familiar with a variety of content areas, including neuroscience, cognition, developmental, social, and clinical psychology. You will also explore the relevance of psychology to topical issues such as technology, media, politics, sports, relationships, and peace and conflict, and have the chance to participate in research with faculty and graduate students. A psychology minor is a great addition to any major, including politics, nursing, business, criminology, or biology, or for anyone who is interested in better understanding human nature.
Students earning a bachelor’s typically complete a total 120 credit-hour curriculum required to graduate. Some degree programs can require additional credits.
