The Minor in Forensic Psychology provides a psychology-centered course of study examining the behavioral, cognitive, and social dimensions of crime, investigation, and the legal system. It is an appropriate minor for students seeking a foundation in the psychological underpinnings of criminal behavior, forensic assessment, and applied legal psychology. It is also appropriate for students in disciplines outside of psychology with an interest in the application of psychological principles to law enforcement, victim advocacy, and the justice system. This minor may be combined with any other major or minor. A minimum of 9 credits must be exclusive to the minor and cannot be counted toward any other majors, minors, or certificate programs. Qualified students with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher may elect graduate-level coursework within the minor to support degree compression.
