[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because it's interesting and relevant to everyone. And not overly challenging. [/quote] Psychology as a major has gotten harder over the years because of the biological aspects and it's more quantitative now (like most other social sciences). I wonder if it will stop being seen as an easy major and thus less popular. The intro classes are still relatively easy, but now you need stats beyond basic experimental stats, neuroscience etc. My DC's roommate is a psych major and says a lot of people drop out of the major after the first couple intro classes because it's not as easy as they thought. So it's sort of the opposite of an early weed-out course, the early courses are lures.[/quote] Came in to say this too. The requirements have changed a lot since we (parents) were in college. A lot more math and hard science added. [/quote]
