<p>I am applying for an internship at UCSD but I'm not sure which department to assist. I plan on majoring in psychology, so which depts would prep me for this field? I will be applying to several and so far I am thinking of the depts of neurosciences and psychology. What else do yoo recommend? Thank you very much :)</p>
<p>What kind of psych are you interested in? Depending on your answers to this, possibilities include neuroscience (pretty much any specialty), psych (pretty much any specialty), bio (any bio-heavy specialty), human factors (I/O or cog psych), industrial or mechanical engineering (I/O or applied cog psych), management/business (I/O), nuclear engineering (neuroimaging), computer science (HCI) and sociology (social psych, gender & racial psych, maybe clinical psych). And I'm sure I've left something out. Of course, for some of these, you'd want to make sure that the lab or group that you worked in actually dealt with psych applications of the field.</p>
<p>(I/O is industrial/organizational, if you didn't know.)</p>
