Why Get a Psychology Minor?

  1. This module will help a student learn about the content of psychology and how it can be applied in varying professional domains.

  2. A Psychology Minor may complement training in another discipline or professional program.

  3. Human behaviour is involved in many careers so having an understanding of it may help an individual be more effective in their interaction with others. This can make it attractive to future employers who look for an individual who works well with and understands others. Some examples include:

    • Healthcare

    • Business

    • Law/Criminal Justice

    • Education

4. Psychology Minors may be a great way for an individual to gain more understanding about themselves or to simply learn more about Psychology because it interests them without having to complete research-intensive courses such as methods or statistics.
