Minor in Psychology

Winter Weather Campus Update

Out of an abundance of caution, Kennesaw State University will move to modified operations on Tuesday, January 21. All in-person classes will convert to remote instruction protocols determined by each instructor. Students should refer to course syllabi or D2L for details on how learning will continue during Modified Operations. All online classes will continue as scheduled. All in-person activities are cancelled. Visit kennesaw.edu/emergency for more information.

The Psychology Minor is open to all undergraduate students. You will gain a basic understanding and awareness of behavior through a curriculum that emphasizes psychology as a science. By exploring individual areas of interest in psychology through a variety of courses, you will learn information that will complement knowledge acquired through your major. Coursework will include research methodology, biological and social factors influencing behavior, development, learning, memory, personality, and abnormalities.

Note: Students using PSYC 1101 for the psychology minor may not use it to fulfill Area E of the General Education Core Curriculum Requirements.
