Advice on a Major?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign

<p>Lately I've been really interested in a topic known as "biopsychology" (aka psychobiology, behavioral psychology, or physiological psychology). Biopsychology studies the links between the human body and the brain. It involves both genetics and psychology, both of which I am really interested in.
HOWEVER. Biopsychology apparently is not a very popular major.. There are few schools that offer it, and the ones that do are schools I have never heard of and don't want to look in to, the reason being that I'm looking at bigger schools (U of I- Urbana Champaign, UW Madison, Notre Dame, etc.)</p>

<p>My question is: Is there a different major that equates to a biopsychology major that more schools would offer? Or is there something I can do such as major in biology/genetics/psychology and minor in one of the others?
Please help, I don't know how to research this by myself! (:</p>

<p>Tufts University is an excellent university which offers a biopsychology degree. I have heard some of the school’s professors speak. The speakers were fabulous. This is a school that is definitely worth looking at. A bit difficult to get into-- not enough spaces for all of the students who apply.</p>

<p>That’s so funny you mentioned Tufts; I had just looked through a forum that talked about Tufts having a biopsychology major. I most definitely will look into it! Thank you!</p>
