Student Experience
Academic Balance
My major’s actually Behavioral Economics and Psychology, and I came to USC because I love the subject. The coursework is fairly manageable and the content is super interesting, although by design there can’t be much hands on learning unless you do it outside of class. But I would recommend it! There are a lot of different pathways into the business sector, medicine, etc. so you’re not boxed in right away.
Since I am only freshman, I am not really familiar with all the aspects of my major in the university. For now, I found my courses to be manageable and helpful. Looking forward for my future path.
Psychobiology is a major for those that are in between the biology physiology aspect and the mental health aspect and is a great combo of the two
