<p>I've been looking at UC's and I'm not really sure which program is best for me. I'm just looking at a general psychology major.</p>
<p>I am leaning toward UC Davis.</p>
<p>But I want to make sure which school focuses on what aspect of Psychology more.
I would prefer something more like human resources or a therapist/counselor focus.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>UC Davis from what I have heard has a great Psychology program. There are even a few specializations within the program, one of which will surely meet your interests.</p>
<p>I would look at each individual school’s psychology major page.
Example: Davis offers a BA in psych, or a BS with either a biological or mathematical focus. Also take a look at the required classes- what suits your strengths and interests, opportunities for a practium, etc. You can even glance into the general catalog and find classes of interest. </p>
<p>Take a look at Minors offered as well- some have psychology specializations. </p>
<p>Internships are vital for gaining HR experience, and research/shadowing/volunteer/paid work is highly recommended depending on what sort of psychology graduate program you are interested in.
“Specialization” will come in during your Masters/PhD degree. Your undergraduate degree will offer a broad span on psychology rather than focusing the entire degree on counseling, etc. </p>
<p>You may actually find some interest in the CSU’s for the focus you want. Many CSU’s offer an HR major with specializations such as management, etc.</p>
