UCSD Psychology Honors Program Needed for Grad School?

@oongaboonga‌ I agree that the lower division coursework is pretty crazy. One of my professors told me it’s because the program is really science based and is designed for people who want to go onto med school to become study psychiatry. It seems like the BA at UCSD is probably equivalent to a BS at other schools due to the science and math requirements for all psych majors. I haven’t completed any calc, I was holding off until I knew for sure I was going to a school that required it. I also had to focus on finishing IGETC in a year, since I transferred from an out of state university and hadn’t started any specific coursework for UC transfer really. I’m taking a refresher math course at my CC this summer, since the only math I’ve had in the past 7 years is stats for psych majors and I don’t remember anything from high school. I need two more science classes since astronomy, nutrition, and my conservation courses don’t count toward the psych requirement (which is super annoying), all 3 calc/logic, and the computer programming course.
