My daughter was a psych major at UCSB, graduated last year. The psych class she took in high school didn’t count toward anything there. It is a very popular major, and I think they try to “weed out” students who aren’t serious by requiring the pre-psych at first.
My daughter also was an “education and applied psych” minor and worked with the Koegel Autism clinic, as well as research projects through the education department. They seem to be well-regarded in the field. She is now in grad school pursuing a master’s in school psychology-- that’s one career option for the major.
