How to Earn a Psychology Minor

Description



Baccalaureate students can earn a Psychology Minor when they graduate. Their minor will appear

as an official notation on their transcripts once it is completed and its completion has been verified

with an official audit from the Psychology Department.



Those seeking a Psychology Minor are encouraged to schedule appointments with (1) an academic

advisor in the Psychology Department (274-6765) to clarify the requirements for your Psychology

Minor and (2) an academic advisor in your major department who can help them choose the

psychology courses that will be most relevant to their educational and occupational goals.

General Requirements



Eighteen credit hours of psychology courses are required for a Psychology Minor. These courses

must be offered by the IUPUI Psychology Department or transferred to and accepted by the IUPUI

School of Science as equivalent to those courses offered by the IUPUI Psychology Department.



Courses from other academic departments that contain the word Psychology in their course titles

will not fulfill the requirements for a Psychology Minor (e.g., HPER-P 405 Introduction to Sport

Psychology, P251 Educational Psychology for Elementary Teachers, P490 Research in Educational

Psychology, or R234 Social Psychology).

Specific Psychology Course Requirements



Introductory Courses

(2 courses totaling 6 credit hours)

B104 Psychology as a Social Science

B105 Psychology as a Biological Science



Core Courses

(any 3 of the following 12 courses totaling 9 credit hours)

(1 additional 300- or 400-level psychology course totaling 3 credit hours)

Course Grade and Cumulative GPA Requirements



No grade below a C- is acceptable for any course taken to fulfill a Psychology Minor.



A minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 in all minor courses is required.

Residency Requirement



A minimum of 6 credit hours in the minor must be completed at IUPUI.

Audit Requirement and Deadline



It is your responsibility to request an audit to verify the completion of your Psychology Minor

because the Psychology Department does not know when you plan to graduate.



The deadline for submitting the request for your audit is

ONE SEMESTER BEFORE YOU

PLAN TO GRADUATE

. In the event that the audit reveals that you will not complete the

requirements for your minor before you graduate, submitting your request before this deadline

will provide the Psychology Department with sufficient time to inform you of this situation so

you can register for the courses you need to complete your minor during your final semester.


