Business Psych major at UCSD or Psych Major at CSUs?
Answered

Hello!

I really want a job in the I-O field when I graduate college. Currently, I am doing my undergraduate degree in Psychology. I'm a second year in community college and I am transferring out in the fall. I've applied to UC's and CSUs. To specify, UCSD, UCI, CSULB, SDSU, and SJSU.

I'm wondering if I transfer to UCSD (University of California, San Diego), would it be better if I changed majors to business psychology? Or should I stay as a Psychology major and transfer to a CSU instead? I am most definitely planning on getting a master's degree, I just don't know where yet. I'm still debating on whether or not I want a PhD. Anyone have some advice?

It depends on what you want in a college. CSU will be cheaper, UCSD might be seen as more elite to employers, but their campus might not be everyone's style- there's a huge highway in the middle of it so it's not as "campus-y." Business psych will likely be seen as more useful than such a broad major like psychology, but it truly depends. If you find a CSU you love, pick it!

Thank you so much! I visited the campus recently and actually loved it and La Jolla. I was worried about it being too selective of a major since I was told by my first professor that if you pick too specific of a major, then it would limit your master school major options.
