A detailed answer, from Emeritus Prof. Julian Hochberg: "It is one of the most popular majors in the country, with good reason. As a science, it draws on and thereby illustrates a wide variety of other sciences -- physics, physiology, biochemistry, and the most advanced brain imaging technology. As a field emerged from the humanities and philosophy, it provides responsible and relatively comprehensible contexts for dealing with other people. It is an excellent starting point for many professions, both firmly established ones (like clinical psychology and psychiatry, ophthalmology and audiology, neurosurgery, etc.) and such newly emerging fields as distant interaction (virtual reality) in the military, the classroom, and the operating room. Perhaps the most general major one can undertake." And from some newly declared psychology majors: "I enjoy the subject and I've had great experiences with my professors." "Although I have many interests in different subjects, I have chosen Psychology as my major because it has been the one class I have truly enjoyed."
