The minor requires completion of 18 credits including:
- PSYCH 1010: Introductory Psychology (3 credits, C- min)
- Five additional PSYCH classes (15 credits)
Additional Considerations
- Nine (9) credits must not be used to meet any other requirements for graduation (except for total credits and 3000/4000 level credit requirements).
- Of those nine credits, six (6) credits must be taken at Iowa State with a grade of C or higher.
- An overall C average (2.00) is required and a C- minimum must be obtained in each course.
- At least nine (9) of the 18 credits must be earned in 3000/4000 level courses.
Courses not accepted
- Psychology 1110/1120/1310/2110 cannot be used. No more than three (3) credits may be in Psych 2910, 4900, 4910 and 4920.
- Transfer courses labeled as Psych 1T- will NOT be applied to the minor. Courses from Study Abroad or National Student Exchange must be approved by the Psych Advising Office to be used for the Psych minor.
