Minor in Psychology

A minor in psychology consists of a minimum of 18 to a maximum of 23 hours in psychology, with at least 9 hours of lower-level courses, including at least one 200-level course, and 9 hours of advanced courses arrived at through consultation with a psychology adviser. At least 6 hours of the minimum 9 hours of advanced psychology courses must be taken at SFA.  

• With the selection of courses in psychological statistics and experimental psychology, and other appropriate electives, this minor will meet minimum admission requirements for graduate work in psychology.
• Advisers will provide information on suggested specialized minor plans for most academic majors.
• Exception for social work majors: PSY 133 (General Psychology) and PSY 375 (Abnormal Psychology) are required courses for social work majors. PSY 133 may be used to meet the requirements of both the social work major and the psychology minor with the credit hours being counted in the minor. No other courses in psychology may be credited in this manner. PSY 375 will be counted in the major, but not in the minor.
