Minor in Behavioral Research
The interdisciplinary minor in Behavioral Research is designed for students who want more specialized instruction in research skills and data analysis. This interdisciplinary minor consists of 15 credit hours. Students select courses from the two categories of Statistics and Research Methods with the following provisions: (1) A student may take no more than 6 credit hours of courses (or 7 credit hours if one course has a lab or is a 4-credit course) from a single department until he or she surpasses the required minimum number of hours necessary for completing the minor; (2) A student is limited to just 3 hours of credit (or 4 credit hours if one course has a lab or is a 4-credit course) toward the minor in the same department or discipline in which he or she is taking a major; (3) Courses cannot be counted for both the major and minor; and (4) Students must fulfill all departmental prerequisites for any course within an interdisciplinary minor. A minimum of 6 psychology upper division hours must be taken at MTSU to satisfy this minor.
If you have any questions about this minor, contact Dr. Michelle Boyer-Pennington at 898-5451.
