Psychology Minor

The information on this page pertains to requirements for students who matriculated in the current academic year. Students who matriculated in a prior year should view historical catalog information here.

A minor in psychology allows students to complement their major field of study with psychology courses and provides formal acknowledgment of the courses completed.

A minimum of 21 credits of courses offered by the Department of Psychology, which must include PSY 001 INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOLOGY (with lab).  Only three credits of independent study, research seminar, or internship may count toward the minor.  A minimum of 12 credits must be taken at Drake. Courses taken on a credit/no credit basis may not be used for the minor.  Independent studies, research or internships will earn a CR/NC grade and still count towards the program requirements.
