Minor Requirements
The psychology minor consists of six courses:
- PSYC 101. General Psychology (required)
- PSYC 304. Statistics (required)
- At least one of the following courses:
- PSYC 273. Developmental
- PSYC 275. Social
- PSYC 331. Abnormal
- PSYC 338. Personality
- Three elective courses in Psychology
Declaring a Minor
You must inform the College of Arts & Sciences of your decision to fulfill the requirements of a minor. A Declaration of Minor Form can be obtained in the College of Arts & Sciences Dean's Office or from the Psychology Department in: Damen Hall 624.
Transferring Courses
Like the major, half of the minor (three courses) can be fulfilled with courses transferred into Loyola.
Substituting Courses
Neither STAT 103 (Fundamentals of Statistics) nor ISOM 241 (Business Statistics) will be accepted as a substitute for PSYC 304 (Statistics). However, if a student has taken another advanced statistics course (e.g., BIOL 335 or SOCL 301), he/she may substitute another PSYC course for PSYC 304. A total of six psychology courses must still be taken to complete the minor.
Biology Majors and Neuroscience Minors
Any of the following courses may be used to satisfy the requirements of the psychology minor even if they are also being used to satify the requirements of the biology major and/or the neuroscience minor:
