                                 Psychology Minor





        The Psychology Department requests approval of the following, to be

        added to p.132 of the catalog (after special departmental

        requirements):  



             Minor in Psychology - A minor in psychology shall consist of

        21 credit hours, including the following:  a) 100, b) two courses

        from the following:  200, 205, 225, and 230, and c) 303, 304, and

        six additional credit hours at the 300-400 level.  



        Rationale:  



        Other institutions' catalogs indicate that a 21-hour requirement

        for the psychology minor is most typical.  This curriculum requires

        as thorough a knowledge of research methods as does the curriculum

        for the major, but leaves room for selection from among the basic

        courses at the 200 and upper-division levels.  These requirements

        are consistent with the University's policy on minor

        concentrations.
