Hello guys.
I was a public health / biology major, but I wasn't enjoying the classes I was taking.
I remember the Psych / Abnormal Psych courses I took at my JC and I do believe that is what I want to do.
My public health degree requires a minor and I am leaning towards psychology.
I enjoy working with people and research is an interest of mine. I'm currently working on two public health research projects (not psych related) at my university.
However, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do next.
When I graduate in a year or so, I was very interested in the Ph.D or PsyD. I'm not sure if research is required, but I would be very interested in working with patients versus research (specifically under served populations and veterans)
My current GPA is a 3.5ish but I still have a whole year - 1.5 year left of classes.
Do I need to get a degree in psychology to do that? Do I need to get a masters in psychology to apply or can I follow a MPH in behavioral sciences (my plan currently) and then apply?
I noticed my school only requires a bachelor's and some required classes in psych, but I'm assuming my minor will cover most of it. I hope anyways.
So yeah, I guess I'm brand new to this so any help would be appreciated
