It is not possible to double minor within psychology by
completing both minor options. Students must choose between either the
(general) psychology minor or the developmental psychology minor.
Psychology Minor Requirements
A psychology minor consists of at least six courses of 3 or more credits, including 01:830:101 General Psychology (3), with a grade of C or better. At least three of the six courses must be taken in the Rutgers University-New Brunswick psychology program (01:830). No more than two 200-level courses may be applied. Courses from nonpsychology departments may not be applied toward the minor. No more than one of the six required courses may be a nonclassroom course such as fieldwork, internship, or research. No School of Arts and Sciences honors courses (except those with the 830 subject code) may count toward this requirement. A combined grade-point average of 2.0 or better is required for all 01:830 courses counting toward the minor.
Developmental Psychology Minor Requirements
The developmental psychology minor is intended for students interested in concentrating on content
and skills relevant to working with people at all points in the life span. It
may be especially useful for students who plan on pursuing careers in the
health professions, education, public policy, or law enforcement.
The developmental psychology minor consists of two required courses and four electives for a total of 18 credits.
