<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>Recently, I've been accepted by UCSB for their pre-psychology program ...</p>
<p>I was wondering if anyone currently at SB has any advice or information for me that's not sugar-coated and completely honest ... how is their program? Is it like bs or actually challenging for the students? Also, how come students can't go right into Psychology and has to do pre-psychology the first year? Is there any way to skip any classes that you already took in high school ... because I've already fulfilled some of the requirements for pre-psych in high school ... so I don't want to waste money on units that I already took ...</p>
<p>Anyone else planning to go into Psychology at UCSB?!</p>
<p>Yup. I got in pre-psych, and I’ll probably end up at UCSB.</p>
<p>I largely applied because of Leda Cosmides and Dan Tooby, and their work on evo psych. Otherwise, I would definitely not have applied to SB. I don’t even know if they teach undergrad courses! But even if they don’t it would still be cool to be so close to living legends (as far as I’m concerned)!</p>
<p>How does undergrad research work at SB, assuming it exists? :/</p>
<p>i’m gonna do pre-psychology if i get in on appreal to SB</p>
<p>No one else knows anything about the psych program at UCSB?!</p>
<p>My daughter was a psych major at UCSB, graduated last year. The psych class she took in high school didn’t count toward anything there. It is a very popular major, and I think they try to “weed out” students who aren’t serious by requiring the pre-psych at first.
My daughter also was an “education and applied psych” minor and worked with the Koegel Autism clinic, as well as research projects through the education department. They seem to be well-regarded in the field. She is now in grad school pursuing a master’s in school psychology-- that’s one career option for the major.</p>
<p>I wonder is it relatively easy to get a job after graduating?</p>
<p>Here’s the Psychology Major sheet for UCSB, if you’re interested.</p>

<p>You can use classes that you’ve taken at community college, if they count as equivalent (check assist.org to see if the classes transfer). Otherwise, you’ll have to take the classes at UCSB. From what I’ve heard, the classes are relatively challenging because the professors curve and try to weed out people from the major. Then again, it depends on which professor you have.</p>
<p>Im a pre-biopsych major for next year! wooot!</p>
<p>I talked to the psychology advisor at the open house, and if you passed the AP Psych test you get out of Psych 1.</p>
<p>Yup, I got in Pre-Psych too.
Anyone here have fb?
someone answer mkedude117’s question, I’d like to know the answer too.</p>
