Undergraduate Minor
What is Educational Psychology?
Our department is dedicated to advancing knowledge of human behavior related to education. Undergraduate students participate in the Department of Educational Psychology (EDP) in several ways: taking our courses as electives, minoring in Educational Psychology, and/or participating in EDP research.
How do I minor in Educational Psychology?
The minor in Educational Psychology is open to all University of Texas at Austin undergraduate students. The minor requires completion of 15 undergraduate credit hours in Educational Psychology, at least six of which must be upper-division EDP coursework. Courses must be taken on a letter-grade basis to be counted towards the minor unless the course is only offered on a pass/fail basis.
NOTE:
- Course credit waivers are not permitted for the EDP Minor.
- A maximum of 6 hours of EDP 379L Research may be counted towards the EDP Minor.
- Be sure to check with your adviser and the Undergraduate Catalog section on Minors for university and any other requirements.
Not all courses are offered every semester, so be sure to check the Course Schedule to see what is available.
Who can I contact with questions?
Your academic adviser can assist you with declaring the minor – it will need to be added to your Interactive Degree Audit (IDA) profile, and your adviser may need to take additional actions to ensure it will work with your degree plan.
