The completion of a minimum of 35 units in Psychology is required for the minor. All courses counting toward the minor must be passed with a minimum letter grade of C- or better. Courses must be taken for a letter grade unless the course is only offered CR/NC. Students may not overlap (double-count) courses for completing major and minor requirements, unless the overlapping courses constitute introductory skill requirements, such as Psych 10: Introduction to Statistical Methods. Advanced Placement (AP) credit may no longer be used toward the Psychology minor. Summer Quarter Psychology courses are not applicable toward the 35 units needed for the minor.

Psychology Minor Declaration Process
Students must complete their declaration of the minor on Axess no later than when they file their application to graduate. In addition, students must obtain a Minor Proposed Program Form (Click Here for a Minor Declaration Form ). Fill it out and bring the Proposed Program Form to the Student Services Office for approval. It is the obligation of the student to declare the minor. Students who have fulfilled the requirements, but do not declare the minor will not be credited with having completed it. Please note that, in addition to declaring the minor, students are required to complete the Major-Minor Course Approval Form prior to graduation. This form is available online through the registrar web site.
