College Majors

<p>I'm currently a political science major going for pre law, but it is really not my cup of tea and I'm rethinking my academic goals. I am a junior and I know it's kind of late to be switching majors but I am really unhappy. I was originally biology and did well in biology classes but I was struggling with chemistry. I really am interested in pursuing something semi-medical/science realted. I loved psychology in high school and my intro to psych class in college. </p>

<p>I'm just wondering what your classes are like, what labs are like (I realize it differs from school to school), etc etc. What interests you about the major and if there are any drawbacks?</p>

<p>I'm desperate to find something I'm passionate about and this field really interests me. I can't start doing research/internships until I have completed some basic classes so I want to get a feel for what I am up against if I switch my major in the spring.</p>

<p>Since you’re a junior, it’s possible that you are running behind in some of the pre-requisites
for this major, but you should know it’s also possible to enter it at the master’s level. You still would probably have to make up some pre-reqs, though.</p>

<p>It’s also a good background for various areas of psychology.</p>
