Additional information needed/action to be taken:
Comments: There appears to be an over-reliance on PSY 101-102 to meet all of the standards. In fact, PSY 101 is the only required course for the minor (all others are elective). It is not clear how all of the standards can be covered in depth in one course. The institution is strongly encouraged to re-evaluate the requirements for the minor. It is not clear if any of the early field experiences are in the student’s minor area.
