OK, so, I was messing around with this whole Colgate University psychology thing, right? First off, I wanted to get into the major. Turns out, you gotta take this PSYC 150 class before you can even think about majoring in it. No biggie, I signed up and knocked that out.
Then, I started looking into what kind of classes they offered. This place has a ton of options, covering all sorts of psychology topics. It’s not just a basic overview; they dive deep into some interesting areas. I decided to enroll in a few of these classes, and I learned a lot, let me tell you.
- I started exploring the course catalog, checking out all the different classes they had.
- I decided to take this one called Research Methods (PSYC 200) because it seemed pretty important, and it was.
The thing is, I needed to figure out what I wanted to focus on within psychology. So, I set up a meeting with one of the department advisors. We had a good chat, and they helped me sort out a plan that made sense for me.
During my time there, I also did some digging around to see what other people were into. Found out that the most popular majors at Colgate are things like economics, political science, and computer science. Research and experimental psychology was up there too, which was cool to see.
I also got curious about where people went after graduating. They talked a bit about how Colgate students get into all sorts of graduate and professional schools, which was reassuring. I started thinking about my next steps beyond undergrad.
Oh, and I checked out some rankings and stuff about the psychology program. Seems like Colgate’s program is pretty well-regarded, and I found some info on average salaries and debt for psychology grads. This was useful to know for planning my future.
Wrapping it up, I had a solid experience exploring psychology at Colgate. Got through the intro course, picked out some interesting classes, got some good advice, and learned a bit about the bigger picture. It was a good way to figure out what I wanted to do next.
