a.  Rationale for creation, revision, or  deletion:

 

This revision of the minor in Psychology complements our curriculum revision for majors.    The new minor requirements reflect the addition of a new methods course for majors and the theoretical organization of the major around core competences at the 300-level.

 

 

 

 

 

b.  Summary of program:

 

The revised minor requires 18 credits, which is unchanged.
