With a variety of course options that complement all academic and career interests, the psychology minor is a popular addition to many majors at USI. Some of the specialized areas of psychology you will have the freedom to explore include clinical psychology, cognitive psychology, community psychology, developmental psychology, forensic psychology, industrial-organizational psychology, learning theory, social psychology, psychology of gender, and sport psychology. You’ll also have the ability to collaborate with faculty who work in community outreach, as well as research labs, providing excellent opportunities for networking and hands-on work experience.
Additional credit hours could indicate a major, second minor, or certificate. A minimum of 120 credit hours is required to graduate.
An undergraduate student should initiate a Change of Academic Program if they wish to add or remove a minor.
The student obtains a Change of Academic Program form from the Registrar's Office or the department of the new major/minor, secures the signature of the department chair/director (or dean) of any major/minor to be added, and returns the form to the Registrar's Office for processing.
A student must submit the completed form by the Thursday before priority registration if the change is to be made within the current semester. Unless granted a waiver by the department of the new major, the student must meet all current program requirements for graduation.
USI's psychology minor provides a strong foundation for many types of majors and fosters marketable skills that employers seek out across a variety of industries. These skills include critical thinking and information management, interpersonal communication, teamwork, adaptability, inclusivity, and leadership. Gaining these abilities during your time at USI will give you an edge over the competition for jobs and graduate school applications.
