Minors in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences

Psychology

Students who are not majoring in Psychology may minor in Psychology by taking 18 semester credit hours selected from the lists of major core courses and major related courses listed. At least 12 hours must be upper-division courses, of which at least 9 hours must be Psychology Core Courses. No credit hours may be used to satisfy both major and minor requirements; however, free elective hours or major preparatory classes may be used to satisfy the minor. At least one-third of the hours for a minor must be taken at U.T. Dallas.

Because Psychology is concerned with a wide range of social behaviors, it provides a strong foundation for all careers that deal with people. Students considering careers in business, education, law, medicine, clinical psychology, counseling or social work can benefit from minoring (or majoring) in Psychology.

Suggested courses are Child or Lifespan Development, Cognitive Psychology, Educational Psychology, COgnitive Development, Exceptional Children, Social and Personality Development, Adolescent Psychology, Psychological Testing, Statistics for Psychology, and Research Design and Analysis.

Medical Careers. Psychology is highly recommended as a major or minor for premedical students interested in pschiatry or neurology, or any student who wishes to practice medicine.
