Heyy I'm a prospective student, and I'm deciding on a major..
I'm thinking of education or linguistics or pyschology.

I have a few questions:

1)Can Education be a minor at all?

2)Is Linguistics a difficult major, like, say- biology or math majors?
How much science is involved in it?

3)How about Psychology - how much science is involved, & is it difficult as math or science majors?

Thanks a bunch~ =)

Hey,

I'm not sure about the other two but I don't think you can Minor in Education. It must be a major!
If you like, maybe you can major in Education but minor in linguistics or Psychology

OR

I'm not sure if this depends on your college but here for example, you can have a B.A. in anything and when you decide to teach you can go to our College of Education Program and receive your teaching certificate through the Post Bac. Program.

3)How about Psychology - how much science is involved, & is it difficult as math or science majors?

Psychology can potentially have a lot of science involved, but it depends on the type. There's some kinds that are philosophy based, like existentialism. And a lot are rooted in science, such as neuropsychology which is pretty much just about the brain. If you're majoring in psychology, they'll make you take a few science and math based psychology courses. When you go to graduate school, you start specializing in what you want.

If you want to be a social worker (psychologist), that falls under the education department.
