Psychology Minor

Description

A Psychology minor can be a wonderful addition to any degree as it allows you to learn about human emotions, thoughts, and behavior. The Minor in Psychology complements students' studies in a wide range of disciplines and broadens their career preparation. Students acquire an understanding and application of the basic principles of psychology as well as a background in the scientific methods used to describe, predict, understand, and explain human behaviour. Whether you are in Psychiatric Nursing and interested in psychopathology, Criminology and interested in forensic psychology, in Education and interested in developmental processes, or in Biology and interested in neuroscience, you can find courses to provide breadth and depth to complement your primary major while providing insight into the understanding of psychology.
