Minor in Psychology

A minor in psychology can be an excellent academic supplement to many majors at VSU or if a student wants to apply to graduate school in psychology. Please contact the department for assistance in selecting courses most appropriate for your needs. Eighteen (18) hours of coursework selected from the following courses constitute a minor. PSYC 1101 must be completed before courses in the minor can be taken, and a grade of “C” or better must be earned in each course in the minor. Call the department if you have any questions: 229-333-5930.
