A minor in psychology provides students with a strong foundation in the questions, methods, and discoveries of psychological science. Some students choose to minor in psychology because they are fascinated by understanding how people think, feel, and behave. Others choose a psychology minor to complement their major focus in another field (e.g., business, engineering, behavioral neuroscience, journalism).
Course Requirements
The psychology minor requires five courses:
- PSYC 001 Introduction to Psychology
- Four additional psychology courses
Additional Guidelines
- At least three of the five required psychology courses must be taken at Lehigh.
- Each course must be at least three credits.
- Only one course may be used to jointly fulfill the requirements of a major program and minor program.
Registration for PSYC 201, 202, 203, and 300-level PSYC seminars requires department permission. These courses are typically reserved for psychology majors and may be available to minors only if seats remain after majors have registered.
