How to Declare

Show

Your academic advisor can assist you with declaring the minor – it will need to be added in your Interactive Degree Audit (IDA) profile, and your advisor may need to take additional actions to ensure it will work with your degree plan.

Required Courses

Show

The minor in Educational Psychology requires completion of 15 undergraduate credit hours in Educational Psychology at UT Austin, at least six of which must be upper-division EDP coursework. Courses must be taken on the letter-grade basis to be counted towards the minor, unless the course is only offered on the pass/fail basis.

Visit the Educational Psychology Undergraduate Minor page for more information on required courses.

MAJOR ≠ CAREER

Your major does not always determine your career path. Many graduates pursue careers outside their field, depending on their interests and experiences.
