Is the psychology or neuroscience major right for you?
If you take introductory psychology, find it interesting and earn a good grade, then you are likely to enjoy and do well in upper-level psychology classes. If you enjoyed biology in high school and feel right at home in your first neuroscience course in college, then you may be ready to excel in the upper-level courses for that degree.
What do our majors do in addition to taking classes? Your learning and personal development as a psychology or neuroscience major will extend beyond the typical classroom. You will be encouraged to enroll in one or more experiential learning courses and to get involved with student organizations whose mission you find inspiring, participate in civic engagement, and complete one or more internships to gain career-relevant experience. You should seriously consider taking advantage of the marvelous Overseas Studies programs available to all IU students.
