<p>Is that at all possible to do?</p>
<p>I'm pretty torn between Electrical Engineering and Psychology but obviously a double major in both subjects would be OVERKILL. The university that I plan on going to does not offer a minor in EE, but it does offer a minor in psychology. Even if I were to major in Electrical Engineering, a minor in psychology would likely add an extra two semesters of courses.</p>
<p>How would a minor in psychology take an extra year of classes? You’ll have humanities requirements to fulfill as an EE, and if you spend them carefully on psych courses you’ll likely only need to take one or two extra classes to get a minor.</p>
<p>^^ Ok, so maybe I miscalculated my classes.</p>
<p>But assuming I decide to not minor in psychology, is it still possible?</p>
<p>If you want to do grad school in psych, why would you get an undergrad in EE? I am not sure I follow what your logic is. What area of psych-- this makes a giant difference? What are your career goals? </p>
<p>I actually think it would be hard to get into grad school, and you would not be prepared with just a minor.</p>
<p>hey do u know any university that offer engineering with a minor in physcology ?</p>
<p>I’d say go with the minor in psychology, first off an undergrad degree in psychology is no where as marketable or respectable as an EE degree. Think about it, would you really spend another 2 years in grad school for psych? I took AP Psych in high school, and from what I’ve heard, the jobs would range in things like counseling, social work, school development, healthcare (mainly rehabilitation and weight loss), etc. Going on to grad school for psych would mean you’re looking into research psychology or pursuing a medical degree (most common: psychiatry), and an undergrad degree in EE isn’t really related or help with those goals. Its all up to what your career goals are.</p>
<p>Graduate programs in experimental psychology and some areas of applied psychology value quantitative skills. Whether or not, your other engineering skills would be a good background for psychology depends a lot on what area of psychology you want to study in grad school. If you applied for a program in human factors/engineering psychology, an engineering background would be quite relevant. An engineering specialty like industrial engineering would be more directly relevant, however. For engineering psychology, you might be able to apply without much undergrad psychology background; I don’t know that I would recommend spending another year just to get a minor in psychology. Of course, if you are interested in areas other than engineering psychology, an engineering background would not be very relevant (except maybe IE for organizational/industrial psych.or certain aspects of computer sci. for cognitive psych.) and it would be advisable to have more background in psychology.</p>
