A Minor in Psychology, offered by the Department of Psychology , has a minimum of 18 units of PSYC and/or STAT. At least 12 of the 18 units must be upper-division (i.e., courses numbered 100+ at SJSU). At least 12 units must be separate and distinct from the units used for the major program of the student. See a departmental advisor for approval of courses.

It is not permissible for a Psychology Major to also have a minor in Psychology.
