<p>Is this dual major worth it? I am interested in both fields. I feel Psychology has more opportunities than Political Science. I don't intend to go to law/med school. I know I will attend grad school (not sure get masters first or direct PhD). I'm interested in being a counselor (mental health), psychologist (industrial/clinical), college professor. </p>
<p>If I decide to stick with Psychology and remove Political Science as a major (and switch B.A Psych to B.S), should I minor in Political Science (it is an interest) or minor in something else (what should I minor in?).</p>
<p>Sounds like you’ve thought this through -very well.</p>
<p>Also, sounds like Pysch is your primary interest and career choice with good plans - grad school required for any decent job and clinical counselor.</p>
<p>I’d recommend your minor be something you enjoy and are good at since a good GPA will be needed for Grad School. If that’s poliSci - so be it.</p>

<p>Could I go to graduate school for neuroscience with a bachelor’s in Psychology?</p>
<p>^ Yes. Many aspects of neuroscience fall under psychology.
To be competitive for the better programs, you should have coursework in basic supporting sciences (two semesters each in calculus, general biology, general physics, and general chemistry; organic chem and additional biology courses recommended), at least a course in basic neuroscience, and undergraduate research experience.</p>
<p>If you’re interested in political science, you can do a minor in it. It is generally unrelated to psychology except for some aspects that touch on decision-making, social psychology, and the subfield of political psychology, but there’s nothing that says a major and minor need to be related.</p>
