what courses in college would i need to take to become a psychiatrist?

Question

from freshman to senior year in college, and then also courses in graduate school

Answer 1

You would have to check with the university you wish to attend to see first what their entrance requirements are. Most institutions have small differences but usually with psychiatric training a medical degree is first necessary and then you must specialize.

Answer 2

To be a psychiatrist you have to go to medical school. So you need to be, but don't have to be, a pre-med or biology major. After medical school, you would have to do a residency in psychiatry. To be a psychologist, you have to get a PhD in psychology, so it would be smart to major in psychology. Grad schools don't require a psych major, but they do require you to have certain courses such as psych statistics and research methods along with some others depending on the school.

Answer 3

the best thing to do would be to speak to one of the counselors at the college. Most if not all colleges have programs targeted for a specific major.
They can set you all up for the appropriate classes.
