Undergraduate Program: Information about Minoring in Psychology

Requirements for the Psychology Minor, and the Consumer Psychology Minor

The Minor in Psychology consists of 6 courses. It is intended to give the student a broad base in Psychology without the commitment to the full course load of the major. The requirements are therefore comparable to those of the major in type but reduced in number.

To declare a Psychology Minor you should meet with Ms. Claire Ingulli, Undergraduate Coordinator (Room B24 Solomon Lab Bldg.)

The goal of the interschool Consumer Psychology Minor is to create a program that fosters the natural link between Psychology in the College and Marketing in Wharton. To fulfill the minor, students must complete four courses from the Psychology department in SAS and four courses from the Marketing department in Wharton.  Dr. Robert Kurzban coordinates the Consumer Psychology Minor.
