"I was accepted into a Clinical Psychology PhD program at the University of Toledo! I wanted to thank the Psychology faculty for their support and guidance over the past few years at UW-Parkside. I was drawn to Parkside four years ago because I was concerned about the large class sizes and anonymity at UW-Madison. UW-Parkside provided me with plenty of opportunities to stand out and connect with the psychology faculty. All of the instruction and advising I've received at UW-P were first-rate, and I'm not sure where I would be today without the guidance you have provided me over the years. I've found that the education I received at UW-P prepared me well for the work world, and also provided me with an edge in applying for graduate school due to the extensive amount of research experience I was able to attain."

2011-2013 Program Requirements

Requirements for the Psychology Minor Starting in Fall 2011

The minor program offers an organized curriculum for students who wish to develop a core understanding of psychology. The minor is not meant for students whose primary interest is the study of psychology. Instead, it is a complement to other fields of study where knowledge of psychology and its methods would be beneficial.

The psychology minor consists of a minimum of 21 credits.

A.  Core Courses-9 credits
PSYC 101 General Psychology 3 cr
PSYC 250 Psychological Statistics 3 cr
PSYC 300 Research Methods 3 cr

Minors may substitute an equivalent course in statistical or quantitative methods from their major for PSYC 250. However, they still have to satisfy the 21 credit minimum requirement in Psychology. Minors may NOT substitute a Research Methods course from their major for PSYC 300.

B. Breadth Courses - 6 credits. Choose two of the four:
PSYC 205 Cognitive Psychology 3 cr
PSYC 210 Introduction to Human Development 3 cr
PSYC 220 Social Psychology 3 cr
PSYC 260 Psychology of Personality 3 cr

C. Depth Courses (psychology courses numbered 301 and above) - 6 credits.
