<p>i’m a sophmore psychology major at carolina.</p>
<p>I think the psych program here is great and its very popular. Most of your professors are clinical psychologists so they have a great deal of knowledge of the material from their own experience. We also have a psychology club and Psi Chi (a psych honor society) that will help you if you would like to continue psychology after UNC.</p>
<p>Grading here is definitly tough and its because the professors have high expectations of their students and they expect you to read and study the course materials and attend class with questions. They are always happy to meet students in office hours if you have any questions or concepts you don’t understand. I think the average gpa for psychology majors is something like a 3.1, don’t quote me on that though. Thats pretty good considering some of the other majors here (i.e. math average gpa is 2.7). I don’t think psychology is that difficult, its a lot of reading at first but then after a while its the same theories repeated again and again so its gets easier.</p>
<p>now, from what I heard where you went to college does give your diploma some wieght, yes gpa does matter a lot but a diploma from Carolina is a lot more valuable than a diploma from lets say ECU.</p>
<p>If you have any more questions about the psych department here them please feel free to ask them. I try and check this message board when I can but I’ve been very busy this semester.</p>
