The Psychology in Schools (PSYS) minor provides students with a foundation of knowledge related to the practice of psychology in school systems, with a special focus on the conceptualization, prevention, assessment, and treatment of behavioral, social-emotional, and learning difficulties among children and adolescents. Courses in the minor review the results of relevant scientific research, and theoretical perspectives from psychology are used to organize the results of that research.

This program is open to all majors of the College. Only 9 credit hours can overlap between the courses used to fulfill the Psychology in Schools minor requirements and the student's respective major(s).
