so my question is that in order to become major in psychology i have to complete all these classes and also i want to be prepare for my medical school too!
so how many years all these classes gonna take and how many classes should i take in first year of college
thank you
Answer:
8 years, 4 classes.
I think it's 8 years, 4 classes.
I have a Bachelor's in Psychology and I think you shouldn't take so many classes that you are overwhelmed. To become a psychiatrist takes as many years as a medical doctor, that is, about 7. That's med school ALONE! Before that, you have to take the regular 4 years of college. So it takes 11 years. You have plenty of time, believe me. It's better to take it slow and graduate than to overload yourself, burn out and drop out.
To earn your B.S. in Psychology, it will take anywhere from 3.5, to 5 years, full time.
Medical school will require four more years of school, plus a two year internship.
If you work hard, but don't kill yourself socially, I'd say you have a 10 year plan ahead of you. Seems long? Guess what? Either way you look at it, in 10 years, you'll be 10 years older anyway. DO THIS!
You'll likely end up with a bare minimal income of $150,000 per year income, and more than likley, you'll be making $250,000 per year after 3 years, if you are good!
In the first semester just take the following psychology major courses:
1) PSY - 1010
2) PSY - 101H...
Psychology courses are hard and you should do only two each semester at least in the first year so there's not much pressure on you, take four electives in the first semester with these two...
Second semester:
1) PSY - 1050
2) PSY - 179H
3) PSY - 2010...
And two electives...
A fyull load is usually 12 hours, which equals to 4 classes. Once you are signed up for college, you will be asignhed an advisor who will help you pick which classes to take yeach semester. It's hard to say how long it will take you to finish, without knowing if this is for an associates degree (2 year) or a 4 year Bachelor's degree. To enroll in certain classes you have to already have had certain other classes. Some classes may be only open once a year. So, it can be a little tricky picking the perfect schedule from semester to semester. Best thing you can do is get a catalog and see what semesters all your classes are available. Then you can do a rough draft of your plan. A B.A. usually takes 4 years, and Associates 2 years. If you want to major in an addition field or double major, or get a minor ,that will add extra time.
Even tho 12 hours are full time, if you are a good student, sometimes you can take an additional class for a total of 5 per semester. Hope this helped.
If you want to be a doctor, you need to get yourself to a university as soon as possible. It will be nearly impossible to get a medical school slot from a community college. A lot of colleges won't transfer credits from a community college.
I agree with the poster above that community college isn't going to get you very far. The courses there may not be accepted by a bachelor's program, and you need a degree from a 4 year college to even be considered for a medical school spot.
Most undergraduates take 16 credits per semester (that's what I did; that's what my son did), which works out to 5 classes each term. And I can tell you from experience that college was a walk in the park compared to medical school. You should be able to easily handle 5 classes, a part-time job and an active social life while you're in college. If that is too much for you, you might want to consider a less-demanding career.
I'd start looking into getting into a four-year college ASAP.
Good luck.
