<p>Can someone give me some info about the psych major at UCSD? I just want to get a taste of the course load, research opportunities...quality of professors...anything! Thanks!!</p>
<p>This should help</p>
<p>UCSD</a> Psychology</p>
<p>PS: I'm entering as a Psychology major too</p>
<p>I'm currently a freshman, and let me warn you... there are only a few upper-division psych courses you can take before you're junior (90 units) status... and those classes are ALWAYS full by the time freshmen get to register. So even though I'm entering my third quarter as a psych major, I still haven't taken any REAL classes. :( I'm taking a psych seminar and I've taken statistics for psych majors, but since I didn't take a buttload of AP courses in high school, I'm going to become junior status when I'm... well... a junior. :P</p>
<p>Degree requirements are fairly easy, though. And if you're in Marshall and Muir, general eds are easy, too.</p>
<p>Silverkinz- does that mean theres a chance we wont graduate in four years? Will you be able to take "real" classes next year? Or not until junior year?
And how big do the upper division classes tend to be for psych?
Sorry for all of the questions...</p>
<p>Yeah good questions Rosiebee! I'm nervous now!</p>
<p>Anyone here able to answer my above questions? I'd really appreciate it :)</p>
<p>Psych at UCSD is really strong, at least according to the rankings they give. UCSD</a> Psychology</p>
<p>Rosie, you should be able to graduate in four years. If you look at the four-year plans, they don't expect you to take upper-division "real" classes until your third year. There are plenty of classes to take, though. The upper-division intro-core courses tend to have a couple hundred students. The psych electives can go from small (40 people or less) to large (300 people, more or less). It just depends on what you choose to take.</p>
<p>Thank you so much!</p>
