The minors in Psychology and Industrial & Organizational Psychology have been revised, as have many PSY course numbers and titles. The new minor plans are effective Fall 2021.
- If you declared a Psychology minor in or before Spring 2021, your plan of study appears under Program Changes. Please consult your advisor if you have questions.
Per College policy, transfer credits may be applied to minor requirements; however, one-half of the minor must be completed at New Paltz.
