Psychology Minor

The Psychology program at UNE is committed to advancing the scientific discipline of psychology through student-centered teaching, hands-on research, and internship opportunities. Our goal is to prepare students to become psychologically literate citizens with the skills necessary to engage in research and practice. We aim to advance scientific knowledge, solve real-world problems, and improve our communities. We accomplish this goal by combining hands-on classroom instruction by experts in a variety of psychological disciplines with on-campus research experiences, and local internship opportunities that prepare students for a broad range of career options. The curriculum in our major has been structured to provide students with exposure to core concepts and skills in psychology, while also enabling them to identify a minor and focus their studies on a sub-discipline such as mental health, psychology, education, business, and research. With a psychology degree from UNE, our program and alumni are advancing their education in post-graduate degree programs, and/or pursuing careers in clinical/counseling, health, education, law, business, and government.

A student with GPA of at least 2.25 and a major at UNE may minor in Psychology with the approval of the Assistant Director. Declarations must occur prior to the completion of the first semester of the junior year. Students declaring a minor in Psychology may be allowed to double-dip credits across the minor and either major or core requirements (if no other options are provided by the major, minor, or core requirements). 

A minimum of eighteen (18) hours of approved course credit with a minimum grade of C- in each course is required for the minor in Psychology as follows:

*May not include PSY 225, PSY 250, PSY 285, or PSY 300 (should not double-dip with other major, minor, or core requirements).
