As a psychology major, when choosing my classes my main emphasis and focus is on my course of study such as, psychology, social skills, English etc. However, there are other subjects that might not be a requirement, therefore, the skills might come in handy in the future. Courses like public speaking will help my communication skill and speech deliverance. It will also, help me overcome the fear of speaking in front of a large group of people. Computer skills such as excel and word will help keep up with the technology. Also, by dealing directly with people, it will be crucial for me to clearly understand them. Courses such as socioly, behavioral classes and diversity will be useful to understand the complexities of man. It will be very practical to volunteer and do different studies with people.
This is much better. :-)

It's great to hear that you're considering taking courses outside of your main emphasis in psychology! Broadening your skillset can be beneficial in many ways. Here are a few steps you can take to choose additional courses that will complement your psychology major:
1. Identify the skills and knowledge you want to develop: Think about the specific areas you would like to enhance. For example, if you want to improve your communication skills and public speaking, consider taking a course in public speaking or interpersonal communication. If you're interested in technology, courses in computer skills like Excel and Word can be valuable.
2. Research course offerings: Look into the course catalog or speak with academic advisors to find out what courses are available at your institution. Pay attention to the course descriptions and prerequisites to ensure they align with your goals. Look for courses related to communication, technology, sociology, and behavioral sciences.
3. Seek recommendations: Talk to your professors, classmates, or upperclass students in psychology or related fields. They may have taken courses outside their major that they found particularly helpful or interesting. Their experiences and recommendations can give you insight into other areas of study that could be beneficial for your future career or personal development.
4. Consider your long-term goals: Think about your career aspirations and the skills or knowledge that may be relevant in your field of interest. How can additional courses expand your understanding of psychology or help you interact with clients or colleagues more effectively? Courses in sociology, diversity, and behavioral sciences, for example, can provide valuable insights into human behavior and increase your cultural competence.
5. Explore extracurricular opportunities: Apart from formal courses, consider volunteering, participating in research studies, or joining clubs or organizations related to psychology and social sciences. These experiences can provide hands-on learning and application of your skills in real-world settings.
Remember, the courses you choose should align with your personal interests and career goals. Taking a diverse range of courses can enhance your knowledge base, develop transferable skills, and ultimately make you a more well-rounded and adaptable professional in the field of psychology.
