    Psychology Minor

    A psychology minor is a great option for students who want to supplement their major with a touch of the psychological sciences.

    Having a psychology minor can benefit you in many ways:

    • Learn how to effectively learn and to communicate with others.
    • Learn to think about behavior from an experimental perspective, one that allows for both creative and skeptical interpretations.
    • Learn to critically question and evaluate what you read and hear.
    • Develop empathy for others when you analyze their actions.
    • Reflect on how you think and how other people think.
    • Develop ways to apply psychological principles to understand and improve your personal relationships, how you work with others, and to contribute to your community.
    • Study the latest findings on how the brain affects our behavior.
