Psychology Graduate School

<p>Is an undergraduate degree in Psychology a requirement for Psychology Graduate School?</p>

<p>I'm majoring in Biology and minoring in Psychology, and I am very interested in studying Psychology on a graduate school level. I know that Law School, Medical School, and Business Schools do not require specific majors for admission, but is this the same for Psychology Graduate School?</p>

<p>I've searched the web and CC, but I've found conflicting reports. I was hoping that someone has a definitive answer or information on this topic.</p>

<p>Thanks a bunch! =)</p>

<p>Nope, in fact majoring in Biology might be a strong point, especially if you’re looking into something that works of the Biopsychosocial model in psychology (Clinical, Behavioral/Cognitive Neuroscience, Comparative, etc.).</p>

<p>The fact that you have a minor in Psychology is sufficient enough coursework as long as it’s fairly directed at what you want to eventually study in grad school (i.e., taking all social psychology classes and wanting to get into behavioral neuroscience may NOT be the best way to go).</p>

<p>Hope that helps!</p>

<p>As long as you have a good amount of relevant coursework for the research you want to pursue, you’ll be fine. More importantly, do as much related research as possible.</p>
