Health Psychology MinorPsychology
College of Liberal Arts
The undergraduate minor in health psychology comprises an empirical foundation in the discipline along with an emphasis in health psychology as it pertains to psychopathology, stress, and trauma and health-related behaviors.
The health psychology minor courses provide students with knowledge in a vital field within the discipline of psychology. The leading health concerns in our world have substantial behavioral components, making the study of health psychology highly relevant for pre-health science students, health care professionals, and students pursuing human and social services.
