<p>Is Intro to Psychology a required class in your freshman year of college? Can you take it whenever? Did you take psychology your first year?
Would becoming a high school guidance counselor have anything to do with psychology?</p>
<p>When you applied to college, you went under undecided as your major, so you were not planning on going into psychology.</p>
<p>Psych is required only of certain majors such as psychology or sociology. If you are in those majors you need to take it first year because it is a requirement before you can take more psych courses. Many students in unrelated majors might take it as an elective that counts toward their general education requirements at a university. Moreover many admitted undecided may take it both for gen ed credit and just to see if they may like it as a major. You do not need a psychology degree for high school counseling.</p>
