Psychology Minor

Psychology Minor (according to the 2005-2006 undergraduate bulletin)

Look here for information about the Alternative Minor -Individualized Program of Studies.

The requirement of minors is variable within the College and depends upon the student's major department. The Psychology Department requires that you have a minor. Two minor plans are available:

Plan A. A single minor is completed and the requirements for individual minors are stated in the areas of study listings (pgs. 127-128 of the 2006-2007 Bulletin; pgs. 121-122 of the 2005-2006 Bulletin; pg. 136 of the 2004-2005 Bulletin; pg. 132 of the 2003-2004 Bulletin; pgs. 133-134 of the 2002-2003 Bulletin; page 131 of the 2001-2002 and 2000-2001 Bulletins; page 129 of the 1999-2000 Bulletin). Generally, a Plan A minor consists of 18 hours, but there are exceptions!!!

Plan B. Two minors are completed with fewer hours in each subject than the number required for a single minor. Generally, Plan B minors consist of 12 hours in two areas. Beginning with the 1998-99 academic year, many departments eliminated their former Plan B option and have only a Plan A option.

Be sure to consult the individual department listings in your Undergraduate Bulletin for the minor requirements. They are very clearly spelled out there. Also, if you are following a “Traditional” minor plan, please declare it in 107 Oldfather; they have forms available there to take care of this for you.

Traditional minors available outside the College of Arts and Sciences are listed in the section “Areas of Study” under “Areas Offering Minors Only” on page 128 of the 2006-2007 Undergraduate Bulletin (pg. 122 of the 2005-2006 Bulletin; page 137 of the 2004-2005 Bulletin; pg. 132 of the 2003-2004 Undergraduate Bulletin; pgs. 133-134 of the 2002-2003 Bulletin; page 131 of the 2001-2002 and 2000-2001 Undergraduate Bulletins; 129 of the 1999-2000 Bulletin). Please look this list over carefully.

If the course is taken at UNL, any passing grade will apply to the minor. In order for transfer credit from another university to apply to the minor, it must be a grade of C or better. Students may take up to six credit hours pass/no pass.
