Required Courses for a Minor in Psychology:

Note: his minor is designed for those students who are entering mission agencies, church-based ministries or other ministries where practical and basic training in psychology would be helpful. The goal of the minor is not preparation for professional psychological or counseling service and therefore is not adequate for a student seeking an advanced degree. Rather, the goal is to give the student a basic understanding of the needs and response patterns of human beings as an aid to the work of spiritual ministry. Those who desire to go on to graduate school and professional service within psychology or counseling, but cannot complete a full major in a timely and affordable manner, should consider a Pre-Professional track. Please see the director of the Psychology program or the director of the General Studies program for more information.
