Closed to Psychology majors.
Because of the diversity within the field of psychology, the minor has been carefully chosen to expose students to at least the following: 1) a general introduction to all major areas of psychology; 2) a presentation of general experimental methods used in the collection of data; 3) exposure to an experimental laboratory-based course; 4) exposure to a social development-based course.

Note(s)
- Except for tutorial study, independent study and internships, any psychology course, including courses from Groups I and II, may be used as electives.
- No course may be counted twice.
- Grade requirement: all above courses must be passed with a minimum grade of 2.0 to count toward the minor. Students considering opting to S/U a psychology course should consult their advisers.
- Independent studies and internships do not satisfy psychology minor requirements.
- 12 upper-division credits are required to complete the minor. PSYC 300 and non-psychology cognate or non-cognate courses cannot be used to meet upper division requirements.
- Residence requirement: a minimum of 12 upper-division psychology credits must be completed at this college.
- Transfer of credits - the following three requirements must be met:
- Courses transferred into the minor must be approved by the Psychology Department Chair. Courses that are repeated will only count once for credit.
- The Department will accept transfer credits for PSYC 100 - Introduction to Psychology and CIS 125 - Statistics if they are at least 3 credit hours and students have earned a minimum of 2.0 or its equivalent (e.g., C). All other transferred courses MAY be accepted as Psychology electives.
- For new, incoming students: the two Group II courses in the SUNY Transfer Pathway (Social Psychology and Abnormal Psychology) will count for Group II credit as long as they are equivalent to those courses at Potsdam.
- Any other transferred course that is equivalent to a Group I or Group II course may count as a Psychology elective but not for Group I or II credit. Instead, the student must take another course from that group to fulfill this requirement.
- PSYC 300 is required to be completed at SUNY Potsdam.
- Students may petition the Chair to have a transferred course accepted for transfer credit toward the minor.
- All courses transferred from two-year colleges/programs carry lower division credit only.
