Guide Review - The Psychology Major's Handbook
The Psychology Major's Handbook walks students through the college years, from Introductory Psychology to graduation and beyond. Early chapters introduce the scope of psychology, address the challenge of choosing a college major, and discuss how to identify your skills, interests, and abilities to choose a college major. Later chapters emphasize how to take an active role in your education, develop relationships with faculty, get research and field experience, and enhance study and writing skills specific to psychology courses. The chapters are most helpful, as they examine career options for psychology majors, how to get a job after graduation, career options at the graduate level, and how to get into graduate school in psychology.
