The psychology minor can be a meaningful adjunct to any major, but is especially pertinent to the study and practice of education, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech-language pathology, business administration, and social work. Focusing on the origins, development, modification, and implications of human behavior, the study of psychology has numerous applications to personal and professional life.
