Parallel Major

For my parallel plan I have chose psychology as an undergraduate major.  Psychology has always been something that interests me.  I even thought bout minoring in psychology while majoring in exercise science.  If a major in exercise science doesn’t end up working out, I believe I would enjoy pursuing psychology.  The psychology program here at ODU offer five psychology related student organizations: health, clinical, human factors, and industrial/ organizational.  With a bachelor’s in psychology I could become a rehabilitation specialist.  As a rehabilitation specialist I can help people who are struggling with a mental disorder become a part of society again.  With a master’s in psychology I could become a behavioral analyst.  I have always been interested in the way one’s brains work and why people do the things they do.  Additional classes I would have to take include health psychology, theories of personality, sensation and perception, etc.  My academic advisor would be Jennifer Younkin.
