I think it depends on what field of psychology you envision yourself wanting to do. \n\nIn general, a biology class can help when you get into structure of the brain, nervous system, etc. If you plan on going into neuropsych, look at courses like biology, chemistry, anatomy/physiology for the future.\n\nThe way my undergrad psych program was set up, the only required courses were Intro, Intro to Statistics, and Experimental Psych. Everything else was up to you, because of all of the different subject areas... sports psych, developmental, I/O, sexuality, adolescent, cognitive, sensation/ perception, personality... and the list goes on.\n\nMost graduate degrees in psychology have a strong research component (esp. if you are required to do a thesis/ dissertation) so if you are thinking that route, get comfy with research methodology and statistics. Test and Measurements is also a good course to catch in undergrad if you can.\n\nYou should have a degree advisor within your major dept. that you can talk to for planning your course of study in regards to what you want to do later on. \n\nA sidenote if you are thinking about counseling/ psychotherapy... you might want to look at a Counseling degree/ LPC program and see if that might be what you are looking for as well.

I was a Psychology major and was AWFUL at math.  But I passed regular statistics w/ a B.  Then when I got to grad school & had to take advanced statistics I flunked the course 3 times & then gave up.  I never got my masters all because of that ONE f*cking class.  I hope you have better luck than I did.

I am taking English and Introductory psychology classes. I find it a little difficult, but I am learning the material better than my peers in the classroom, because I have to study on my own, from my own motivation. I enjoy it, and will probably take more classes in my next semester.

Don't give up on anything.  What you should do really depends on what you want to do.  Ask or look around what other fellow psychologists do and find out what your interest lies.\n\nYou can either be a counselor or follow Dr. Phil's path to TV.

This could be a little too difficult to spell out the whole history. Can I thus recommend you a book which I found very useful, which was actually a text I had to use during one of my honours degree modules.\n\nThe book is A History of Modern Psychology, by C. James Goodwin. John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Generally, if the school has an outstanding graduate program in your field, the undergraduate program will be great as well, since many of the same professors will teach the upper division classes.  Some of the best schools out there for psychology that are a little easier to get into are University of Michigan - Ann Arbor, University of Illinois - Champaign Urbana, University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, University of Wisconsin - Madison, and Indiana University at Bloomington.  Of course, if you have the academic excellence and the money, schools such as Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Princeton, etc., excel in practically every field (and psychology is no exception), so you're assured of a good education regardless of which major you choose. Good luck!

I don't know what country you're in, but in america you pick your profession in college and pursue streams there too :)\n\nBut I'll assume you mean, what courses should you take to broaden your understanding later on in college psych.\n\nwell these will help A Lot!\n-biology (they say biology before psychology.. and you will need it, trust me)\n-philosophy (really makes you question things, which will help when you need to do independent research)\n-math/stats (you're going to have to take it in college for psychology, so take general stat couses now, so that psych stat will be a breeze)\n-social studies/history/anthropology courses (really help in the long run, once you are a psychologist, gives you a deeper understanding of you patients)\n-language courses (more clients if you can speak other languages fluently)
