Question Posted Wednesday February 3 2010, 8:39 am
I'm a junior doing scheduling right now and I'm not sure exactly what to choose for some classes.
I want to major in Psychology in a very good liberal arts school, but their website does not offer very good information on what I'm looking for, and neither does collegeboard.com
I know I'm taking AP Calc, AP Italian, Choir, AP Psychology, Sociology, AP Literature, and gym. I'm unsure about my science, and whether I should take one at all.
Freshman year I took Pre-AP Chem, last year I took Pre-AP Biology, and this year I'm taking AP Chem. I'd take Biology, but the teacher doesn't really teach so I don't want to waste time and money on that class. My options are AP Physics or Honors anatomy.
Which would help me most in a psychology setting? Do I need a science at all..? I know it's recommended that I take four years of a science, but with so many other classes, I'm sure I wouldn't look terrible. I'm just not sure if it'd be better to do one of those than the other.
I'm looking into more of counseling then research-oriented psychology, if that helps at all.
