The curriculum is arranged to provide familiarity with scientific bases of psychology for students preparing for careers in a variety of professions; the knowledge and skills necessary for graduate work in psychology; and the academic preparation and technical skills for students who plan to work in health-related, business and/or research settings after completing their undergraduate work.
Two minors are required. Students may choose a specialty minor offered by the department, but this is not required. At least one minor, however, must be from outside the department. The specific interests and career goals of each student determine the remainder of the program. A minimum of 9 psychology upper-division hours from the set of “Required Core Classes” and a minimum of 6 other psychology hours must be taken at MTSU. Students who are graduating with a University Honors/Honors Associate minor must have two other non-honors minors.
