The remainder of the program will consist of upper division work taken upon consultation with an advisor. Students are urged to take courses for a strong minor, or even two strong minors, rather than to over-emphasize psychology courses. Psychology Teaching Minor—At least twenty-four quarter hours should be taken by students desiring a psychology teaching minor, to include Psychology 1, 54, 60, and 81. This minor is important because students are often placed into positions that emphasize the minor fields, especially in education positions. Prior approval should be obtained by all psychology minors before taking courses toward their minors. Students transferring from other institutions who wish to be graduated from Weber State College with psychology minors must take at least one approved course at Weber State College before such a minor can be approved. For those students definitely planning graduate work, at least twenty-four quarter hours of French, German, Spanish, or Russian, or their equivalent should be considered. It is highly recommended that such students also take Data Processing 1 and 3, as well as a course in office machines. The Department of Psychology arranges with schools, Utah State social welfare agencies, juvenile courts, the Wyoming General Hospital, and others for valuable experiences while enrolled in certain psychology classes. Allied Courses—Psychology students are urged to include in their programs allied work in other college schools and departments, especially in those areas that will contribute to psychological application and research or to a better understanding of people. Illustrative of such desired courses are: 198 Arts, Letters and Science Anthropology 1, 110, and 120 English 60, 160 (Shakespeare) Genetics 30 History 5 Mathematics 14 Philosophy 5 Physics 5, 51, 52, 53 Physiology 1 Political Science 1 Sociology 1, 110 Zoology 1, 4, 7, 105 For the psychology major and minor, Sociology 150 (Social Psychology) will carry psychology credit.
