The psychology minor introduces students to the science of behavior and thought processes.
Students enrolled in any of the University's baccalaureate degree programs may elect to complete a minor. This may be a particularly attractive program for those majoring in English/humanities, social sciences, or business and for those planning to attend law school. Any minor requires you to complete a minimum of 15 hours, with a minimum grade of "C". Courses taken on a pass/no-credit basis may not be applied to the minor. No more than 9 of these hours may count toward your major.
This minor is coordinated by Dr. Rhoni Maxwell-Rader, Associate Professor of Psychology. For additional information please contact Dr. Maxwell-Rader at (740) 351-3094 or rmaxwellrader@shawnee.edu.
