Minor

The Department of Applied Behavioral Science offers a curriculum through which students learn how to examine and address problems of social importance across the lifespan. Students receive training in the application of behavioral science to improve the human condition through prevention and intervention.

Students who complete an ABS minor are required to complete ABSC 100 and at least an additional 15 credit hours of course work in ABS, 12 of which must be at the junior/senior level (courses numbered 300 or above). No more than 3 credit hours in practicum courses and no more than 3 credit hours in research, special topics, and study abroad courses may count towards the general ABS minor.

The minor in ABSC fulfills the College’s minor requirement for the B.G.S. degree (required of all undergraduate students who entered KU in Fall 2008 or thereafter).

We recommend that students who are interested in an ABS minor see an ABS advisor and consider completing course series that align with their interests.
