What are the requirements of a psychology degree ?

Question

i will be going to college soon and i am really interested in taking psychology. does the class require certain math skills cause i am horrible at math. the psychology degree i want is the one that allows me to work with children with mental illness such as autism. is there anything i need to prepare, certain classes i need to take beforehand and especially if it requires a certain level of math

i don't want my dream to die just because i can't do math

Answer 1

lol, im studying psychology and im c**p at math. i think in uk you gotta have math gcse but its not like....amazingly important when you re actually on the course (as ive found out ahha). thing is you might need it for research methods, but even then, you use software (eg spss) and it practically counts everything for you. i guess analytical thinking is more important than maths.

good luck :)

Answer 3

I am majoring in psychology at my school (CSUF) and I was looking at the requirements and they are all some type of psych class such as memory and learning or sexual behavior. One of the required classes I had to take so far (mandatory) was psychological statistics in the behavior sciences. It has math in it (statistics) but its not that hard. It has a lot of formulas that you follow but the only hard part really is the psychological aspect of the class such as explaining your findings and rules.

Answer 4

There are no classes you need to take before you go to college. But you will need to take statistics in college. Without an understanding of statistics, you won't be able to make sense of the research in the field, and if you can't read the research, your attempts at therapy may end up doing more harm than good. So yes, you will need to do some math, but it's manageable if you work at it.
