Where can I find the list of required and optional courses?

The list of course requirements can be found in the Undergraduate Catalogue for the Department of Educational Psychology.

And they are listed here: Required Courses Human Dev. Minor (PDF)

How do I "declare" a minor?

Simply indicate to your advisor that you would like to pursue the minor in Human Development in the Department of Educational Psychology. Your advisor will have this indicated on your DAPR.

Is there a form to fill out or is there an application required by the Department of Educational Psychology to enroll in the minor?

No. Simply inform your advisor of your intentions.

Do I have to let anyone in the Department of Educational Psychology know that I am pursuing the minor in human development?

No. Simply inform your advisor of your intentions.

But how will the Department know if I am enrolled in the minor?

The DAPR knows all! Actually, we get a list of students enrolled in the minor every year. We will know.

Does the Department have academic advisors that can indicate the minor on my DAPR?

Unfortunately, no. The Department of Educational Psychology does not offer an undergraduate major, so we are not in the undergraduate advising business, and nobody here knows how to work the DAPR anyway. Better to see your advisor.

But what if I have questions about the minor—maybe I'm having trouble making my schedule work, or maybe I want to see if certain courses might substitute---is there someone I can talk to?

Ah, yes, now we can help. Please visit, call or email Dr. KC Bronk, she will try to answer your questions. Her phone number is: 765-285-8503. She would be delighted to speak with you about the minor in human development.
