Procedures and Requirements for All Students Accepted Into the ADP Minor

  • All courses for the ADP minor must be taken for a letter grade and a grade point average of 2.0 (“C”) is required, with the exception of ADP Internship courses (Psychology 134D, 134E and 134C), which will be taken on a P/NP basis.
  • There is a maximum of 2 overlaps allowed between your major and the ADP minor. Psychology 10 will count as the first overlap for departmental majors, whether taken at a Community College or UCLA.
  • The ADP core courses (Psych 134A, B & C) and concurrent internship courses (Psych 134D,E, & C) are required for the ADP minor. Permission to enroll in the minor and the 134A/D, B/E, and C courses and internship is ONLY granted through application and admission to the minor, which occurs twice annually (in October, for entry in spring, and January, for entry the following fall).
  • Either Psychology 130 or one of the 133 B – I courses is required for the minor, in addition to the core courses/internship, electives and Psychology 10.
  • We strongly recommend that students take Psychology 130 prior to entry in the ADP core course sequence (i.e., Psych 134A/D), although they can apply to the minor prior to completion of the course.  

The number of students accepted into the program for each of the 2 cohorts each year is limited. Students may begin taking courses for the minor prior to acceptance to the program but AGAIN: students must be admitted to the ADP minor (and thus the 134A/D, B/E, and C courses and internship) via application only. There are no exceptions to this policy.
