Psychology impacts how we perceive our world, make daily decisions, and interact with others. A background in psychology is valuable in countless fields, from biology to marketing to politics.

A Minor in Psychology is an opportunity to immerse yourself in psychology courses of interest to you. You'll learn how people perceive and process information and how they use that information to make decisions. You'll also explore psychological theories in a variety of fields including social, cognitive, clinical, industrial-organizational, development, and neuroscience, and learn how to apply those theories to real-world problems. Finally, you'll gain an understanding of how to design research studies, analyze results, and communicate results to a variety of communities.
