Double Majoring

It's great to hear that you're thinking ahead about your academic path and career goals! A double major can be a fantastic way to broaden your knowledge and skill set, especially if you're considering a career in forensic psychology. Let's explore some options together.

First, have you considered what specific skills or knowledge you want to gain from your second major? Forensic psychology often involves understanding legal systems, criminal behavior, and human behavior. A second major in a related field could deepen your expertise.

Here are a few options that complement a psychology major:

Criminal Justice or Criminology: These fields provide insights into the legal system and crime, directly relating to forensic psychology.

Sociology: Focuses on social behavior and society, which can enhance your understanding of the societal aspects of crime.

Biology or Neuroscience: Offers a deeper understanding of the biological bases of behavior, which can be beneficial if you're interested in the physiological aspects of psychology.

Political Science: Provides a foundation in government and legal systems, helpful if you're interested in policy or advocacy work.

Anthropology: Studies human behavior from a cultural perspective, which can offer unique insights into forensic cases.

As you consider these options, think about the workload of a double major and how it fits with your plans for a chemistry minor and master's degree. It's a lot to manage, but with careful planning, it can be rewarding.
