Charlotte’s Answer

In addition to life sciences (such as physiology, biology, biochemistry, etc.) requirements, a psychology concentration requires a minimum number of credits in psychology courses (there are many but some of the offerings include social, developmental, abnormal, cognitive, neuropsychology, etc.), and statistics. Usually you need to take a class or two with a lab component and you must participate in a psychology study as well. It's a fascinating area to study with multiple applications in the real world!

Hey! Your question is quite broad. You would have to decide on what kind of psychology you would want to specialize (as mentioned earlier, social, developmental, abnormal, cognitive, and neuropsychology are some examples). It also depends on what college you attend, but likely you'd have to complete the sciences (biology, chemistry, maybe environmental science?) along with psychology specialized courses. To gain deeper understanding, it is advised that you do research or even take part in research!
