What classes should I take to become a social worker?

What classes would I need to take in college to become a Social Worker or Psychologist or Psychiatrist?

• Answer:

  They are all pretty similar careers. If you're an undergrad, the classes for psychologist and psychiatrist would overlap for the most part. Psychiatrists need more science and math classes because you'd be going to med school eventually. All of these careers need some sort of graduate degree, so as an undergrad, you could technically major in anything as long as you have the prerequisites out of the way. (If you don't take these classes as an undergraduate, you can still take them as a post-baccalaureate but they will cost more money.) Some colleges let you enroll in a graduate program without the prerequisites, but you have to promise to take and pass those classes within the first year. And again it will cost more money. Talk to the admissions person for each of these programs at your school (or the graduate school that you want to go) and ask their advice.
