Notes
Administrative Clarification note based on MME minor language made to Psych minor advising sheet and sent to Alisa Paulsen for final approval. 10-30-09 kmh October 30, 2009
Administrative CAA approved minutes:
? Revision to the Psychology Minor, Department of Psychology
The proposal includes a revision to the current General Psychology Minor and adds six focused
minor content areas: Clinical and Individual Differences, Developmental Psychology,
Organization and Performance Psychology, Social and Personality Psychology, and
Psychological Research. This is a companion to the proposal to revise the Psychology Major
that came to Council last year. The changes to the minor (and the major) reflect changes within
the discipline as well as comments and feedback from their students that they would like more
focus.
The following concerns were discussed:
? Once the proposal is approved, the minor sheets need to be revised to accurately reflect
the current information.
? A look at the number of hours in minors should be routinely monitored.
? The information found on the accompanying Arts and Sciences minor sheet, “100-level
course work. For every five credit hour of 100-level course work on the minor, the
minimum total required for the minor is increased by five.” The wording is confusing
and does not clearly explain that the mentioned “five” is over the “twenty” University
minimum. The Council advises Arts and Sciences to make the necessary changes to add
clarity.
Hobgood moved approval of the proposal; it was seconded by Blackwell, and the motion carried
with all in favor.
