Forensic psychology is the study and application of psychological principles to criminal investigation and the law.
The Forensic Psychology minor examines the many ways psychology plays a part in the American justice system for criminals, judges, juries, victims, and witnesses. You will study family and workplace law, assessment, profiling, and the effectiveness of punishment and social advocacy.
This program will prepare you to pursue graduate study in clinical or forensic psychology. To become a practicing psychologist, a master’s or doctoral degree, and licensure or certification are required.
To earn the Forensic Psychology minor, you must complete a 24-credit course of study.
