In order to be a psychologist one need a bachelor and master's degree. One can get a bachelors degree in almost any field with some pre-requisites in order to continue psychology in his/her masters program. Having a psychology major in undergrad is an icing on the cake, it certainly will be easier and helpful during grad school. Upon receiving bachelors degree, there are several options to choose a field within psychology, in your case you could choose behavior as your specialty when applying for grad school. I hope this was helpful.

Hi Emma!

An area you may not have thought of is in the tech industry! I work for a software company that employs behavioral psychologists who work with on product and experience design. This role requires a bachelors degree and would likely have awesome benefits!
