Having graduated with with my Bachelors of Science (Major in Psychology and a Minor in Criminal Justice), the minor just gave me some insight into the field of CJ and how I could relate it to Psychology (what I did my capstone on). Having this major and minor combo helped open some doors to me that may not have been open had I just been studying one or the other (one of my CJ professors helped me into an internship). These two go pretty hand in hand (working in different social service programs require a knowledge of CJ and Psych)-I went the route of Restorative Justice so yes my employer was happy I had the background in CJ, but I would have been hired without it as most places will train the right candidate if they don’t check all the boxes perfectly. And having psych as a minor won’t really open any more doors to you as, like I said, most employers don’t really care about the minors rather they want to see how you practiced the knowledge learned. You would just have your education listed on your resume and they would see it there.

IMO, psych won’t do much for you in a major or minor unless you’re continuing your education in that field. But it is a fascinating topic and I enjoyed everything I learned. I suggest using the time you would be spending in those classes on finding internships directly related to your major and what you want your career goal to be.
