I am a sophomore undergraduate double majoring in Math and Philosophy and at the same time taking some psychology classes. I really enjoy learning math philosophy and psychology, but when it comes to research, I think that I am more likely to do something worthwhile in psychology. So I am thinking that I could finish my college with math and philosophy and then apply for a quantitative psychology phd program? Does this sounds doable? Can I get into some good programs with maybe one or two research experience in psychology?
Well, my question for you is that if you are a second semester sophomore and you are considering a PhD in quantitative psychology, why not change your double major to math and psychology?
This is doable, though, particularly if you minor in psychology and/or take around the same number and types of classes a minor would take. Chat with a professor in your psychology department, and yes, you will need some research experience. You don’t really count them in numbers, but rather in years: so I’d seek out opportunities now that you could begin in at the latest the fall of your junior year.
