Declaring Psychology as a Minor

You will need to meet certain criteria outlined below and participate in our declaration process.

Please note that in progress work is not accepted, meaning that all prerequisite coursework needs to be completed and a grade shown on the Banner transcript in order to declare the degree.

Declaration Criteria:

  1. General Psychology (PSYC 1101) must be completed with a grade of C or better within two (2) attempts*.
  2. A Natural Science course with a lab must be completed with a grade of C or better.
    • The course must be eligible to earn General Education Natural Science credit. Psychology courses (ex. PSYC 1101) may not be used for this requirement.
    • Higher level science classes may also be used to meet this requirement if you have taken the class with a corresponding lab (e.g. BIOL 2120/2130 and 2140L).
  3. An overall GPA of 2.00.
  4. A Psychology GPA of 2.00 (includes Psychology courses and Natural Science with a lab).

*An attempt is defined as: earning an A, B, C, D or F, a W (Withdrawal), using a Grade Replacement (QX), taking a course on an audit (AU), or Pass/No Credit basis (P/N), or an Incomplete (I).

Note: To graduate, a student must earn the last 25% of baccalaureate degree requirements at UNC Charlotte, including the last 12 semester hours of work in the major field and at least six hours of any minor field of study.
