Special Topics and Independent Study
These are not required elements of the Psychology minor, but may be used in some circumstances to help satisfy minor requirements in the following ways:
- Elective credits - Any PSYC 390 Special Topics in Psychology or PSYC 490 Independent Study course that is not already being applied to a specific requirement can count for elective credits toward the minor.
- Meeting content area requirements: To satisfy a content area requirement, a Special Topics course (390 section) or Independent Study course (490 section) must be associated with a relevant content area or direct course substitution at the time of its creation by the Psychology program faculty instructing the course.
