Hey there, y’all! Let’s talk about this here Auburn psychology minor thing. Now, I ain’t no fancy scholar or nothin’, but I can tell ya what I know. It’s like this, if you’re studyin’ at Auburn and you wanna learn a little somethin’ about the brain and how folks think, but you don’t wanna make it your whole life, well then this minor might just be for you.
First off, you gotta get yourself good grades, y’hear? Like, a “C” or better in them psychology classes. Can’t be slacking off, even if it’s just a minor. They ain’t gonna just give it to ya, that’s for sure. You gotta work for it, just like everything else in life.
- Gotta get a “C” or better, they say.
- No slacking allowed.
Now, some folks, they go and take the big psychology major, that’s like the whole hog. But this minor, it’s more like a little side dish. You take some classes, learn a bit, and it can help you out no matter what you end up doin’. Say you wanna be a teacher, or maybe work in an office, understandin’ how people think, well, that’s always gonna be useful.
They got all sorts of classes, too. Some are about how we learn stuff, others are about how we get along with each other, or why we do the crazy things we do. It’s all pretty interestin’ if you ask me. I always did like watchin’ people and tryin’ to figure ’em out. This psychology stuff, it kinda gives you the tools to do that.
So what exactly do you gotta do to get this minor? Well, you gotta take a few of them basic classes, like the “PSY 200” and the “PSY 211.” I ain’t sure what them numbers mean, but they’re important, I reckon. And then you gotta take some more higher-up classes, the 300-level ones. Gotta get enough credits, they call ’em. It’s like collectin’ stamps, but instead of stamps, you’re collectin’ classes.
Now, some folks ask, “Is this minor gonna help me get a job?” Well, I say it can’t hurt! Knowin’ a little somethin’ about how people think, that’s good for just about any job. If you’re workin’ with other folks, you gotta know how to talk to ’em, how to understand ’em, how to get ’em to work with you. This psychology stuff, it can help with all of that.
And if you’re thinkin’ about goin’ on to more school, like grad school, well, this minor can help with that too. It shows ’em you’re serious about learnin’, and it gives you a good foundation for whatever you wanna study next. Maybe you wanna be a counselor, or a therapist, or somethin’ like that. This psychology minor, it’s a good place to start.
Even if you don’t go to grad school or do somethin’ directly related to psychology. This knowledge is good to have. Like if you go into business, knowing how folks make decisions, how to motivate them that is all useful. Heck, even just in your own family and relationships, understanding how people tick can make things a whole lot easier.
You know, back in my day, we didn’t have all this fancy learnin’. We just figured things out as we went along. But times have changed, and learnin’ about the mind is important. I reckon if I had the chance, I might’ve even taken a class or two myself. It’s good to know what makes people tick, it really is.
Now, if you’re already at Auburn and you’re thinkin’ about this minor, don’t just sit there, go talk to someone! Go find them advisors, the folks who know all about this stuff. They can tell ya exactly what classes to take and how to get it all done. Don’t be shy, they’re there to help ya.
Here’s what I’ve heard you need to remember, keep it in your noggin’:
- Good grades are a must – “C” or better, they say.
- Gotta take them basic classes, like “PSY 200” and “PSY 211”.
- And then some of those higher-up 300 level classes.
- Talk to an advisor – they know the ropes.
So, there you have it, a little somethin’ about this Auburn psychology minor. It ain’t rocket science, but it’s good stuff to know. If you’re interested in people and how their minds work, it might be just the thing for you. And even if you don’t end up usin’ it directly in your job, it’ll still help you out in life. You can’t go wrong with a little bit of knowledge, that’s what I always say. And remember, work hard and get them good grades!
