I would want students to know that there are so many opportunities for those in the psych major ranging from minors, research and working with the LA community.

Honestly pretty easy but the concepts can be very detailed. Really really interesting classes. All of my professors have been amazing and psychology goes in to so many different avenues like business marketing etc

A lot of people should know that you need to go grad school in order to make money. Though psychology can be a great major for both law or medical school.

I chose psychology after taking a class in high school. I loved learning all the different theories and how it challenged me as a writer and a person. Arizona state is a larger university and it was challenging to find connections but professors are always available if you need help. I wouldn’t say the work load is different from any other major. I wish I had picked psychology before I picked chemistry so I didn’t have to switch majors.

Make sure to learn how to read research studies! Psychology is super interesting but it’s easy to fall behind so stay on track with reading and content.
