A student enrolled in a degree program at MSOE may also earn a Minor in Psychology. Upon completion of this course of study, students will have a broad knowledge of many areas of psychology, along with a strong understanding of the research methodology that plays an integral role in the field of psychology. Understanding of human behavior and thought processes is beneficial for students navigating the diverse workplaces of the 21st century.

The Minor in Psychology requires a minimum of 27 quarter credits.
