Literature & Psychology
Coordinator: Professor Katherine Lahti (Language and Culture Studies)
The literature and psychology minor devotes itself to integrating literary and psychological insights into human beings, their behaviors, and their destinies as these are represented in texts of philosophy and literary and dramatic art, and in cognitive, social, and psychoanalytic psychologies.
This minor consists of six courses approved by the coordinator as relevant to the integration of literature and psychology. Students must include courses from at least three different fields. Students take a 200-level course to begin the minor, and then progress to at least two courses at the 300 level. As a culmination, students complete a 400-level research and writing project, integrating and developing work from several previous courses in this program.
Please contact the minor coordinator for a complete list of literature and psychology courses.
