The undergraduate minor in psychology requires a minimum of 15 s.h. of psychology courses (prefix PSY), including 12 s.h. taken at the University of Iowa. Students must maintain a cumulative grade-point average of at least 2.00 in all courses for the minor and all UI courses for the minor. Coursework in the minor may not be taken pass/nonpass. Courses graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis may not be counted toward the minor. Before registering for a psychology course, students must complete the course's prerequisites. No credit from practicum coursework can be applied to the minor. Only one course can be "double counted" for the psychology minor and neuroscience major (i.e., neuroscience majors must complete four psychology classes not included as part of their neuroscience BS). CLAS minors may only be earned concurrent with or subsequent to earning a University of Iowa bachelor's degree. They cannot be granted as standalone credentials or as the sole program of study completed at the University of Iowa.

A minor in psychology complements majors in a variety of disciplines. Department advisors can help students identify courses for the minor that are especially appropriate for their major.
