Why I Chose My Major

PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCE
Tanya, Junior

I chose this major...

"to have an opportunity to gain the education and knowledge about Psychology and the education of social science research. I would like to one day be a Mental Health Psychiatrist, and be able to understand the mental processing of it all, and how to do social research correctly and ethically."
