Dr. Jill Amati, chair of the Social and Behavioral Sciences Department, which houses the minor, said, “The psychology minor is a great addition for our students.

With the new minor in psychology, Alfred State students now have the opportunity to explore various psychological processes and their impact on human behavior.
The minor, which was added in time for the start of the fall 2016 semester, is open to students in any of the college’s baccalaureate programs. However, it may particularly interest students in programs such as forensic science technology, business administration, human services management, and more.

The psychology minor requires a minimum of 15 credit hours in psychology and includes an introductory course, two upper-level psychology courses, and two psychology electives. At least three credits must not count toward the student’s major, and at least three credits must be completed at Alfred State.
