Just wondering, for those who have majored in psychology in college, what sort of things do you learn? And how exactly does science tie into this?

Also, in high school, I know it is important to focus on science courses but which courses specifically? My school does not offer a psychology class and I plan on taking one in the summer but should I focus more on biology, chemistry, or physics, etc? Which would benefit me more?

Well, if you think you want to be a psychiatrist, someone that can prescribe medicines then I think you might as well focus on either the biology or the chemistry. What you learn in a psychology program in college will depend upon what "school" of psychology your university focuses on. This is something you will want to know before you choose where you go. There is behaviorism, Jung, Freudian... everyone has their preference. To be honest, my psychology program was disappointing at best. All the profs were old fat burnt out hippies who had "I stop for flashbacks" bumper stickers on their cars. I wish better things for you, wherever you are going.

Well, From what I understand Psychology is the science of understanding of the brain and how it works. So physics will not help you in that field. But taking biology, anatomy, and may be chemistry will help. You also need to take as much science class as you can when you apply for college. You might also want to take Sociology because it invovles some basic and similar ideas.

I focused on Biology because that is my major and it helped a little with psychology
