Applied Psychology Minor


The Applied Psychology minor introduces students to basic principles in psychology as it is applied to several areas of study and introduces various perspectives in the the field to address societal issues and problems. The minor offers an opportunity to focus on applied psychology (general track), social, biological, applied developmental, or mental health tracks. Examples of applications of psychology to the variety of fields include: education (and child and adolescent development), social, cultural or political issues, policy, data and its interpretation, mental health, health care, clinical psychology, and applied social psychological science and practice principles. In addition, big issues in data and society in a psychological context will help strengthen students’ knowledge of engaging with others. Students are encouraged to use  psychological science to solve and address complex problems in a diverse society and complement skills and applications related to their core area of study.

You should consider your interests when selecting a 1000-level course, since that choice limits your 3000-level options. Selecting an area of interest in psychology helps develop your applied skills in a more specific direction (neuroscience, clinical psychology, developmental psychology, personality or social psychology).
