General Requirements for the Minor
Basic Requirements for the Minor:
- Register, ideally, by the beginning of the second semester of junior year.
- Successfully complete five courses (minimum of 15 credits) from the Approved Course List. Although only five courses are required to complete the minor, we assume students interested in moral psychology will often end up taking more.
- One core course, e.g., either PHIL 2415 “Introduction to Moral Psychology,” PSYCH 3135 “Psychology of Good and Evil,” or AEM 3205 “Ethics in Business and Organizations.”
- Three additional courses from the list below (at least two at the 3 – 4000 – level). Courses are to be chosen by student and advisor to provide a coherent program.
- One community engaged course*, e.g., either PSYCH 4940/HD 4940/PHIL 3915 “Moral Psychology in Action,” PSYCH 2820 “Community Outreach,” AEM 3385 “Social Entrepreneurship Practicum,” or HD 4390 “Positive Psychology in Prison.”*AEM 4000 (or AEM 4001, 4002, 4004, the Study Abroad versions) are acceptable community engaged courses for students taking AEM 3205.
- It is suggested, but not required, that students attend at least two Moral Psychology events within each academic year. (This is separate and apart from individual course requirements.)
- Submit the Certification for Graduation form. Students are expected to keep track of the courses they have taken toward the minor. When the minimum of 15 credits has been achieved, the Certification for Graduation form must be submitted to the program manager for verification. This form is required in order to have the minor designation added to your final transcript.
