I know that you have to go to graduate school to become a school guidance counselor, but I was wondering what I should major in to get my bachelors degree? i was thinking human development or psychology… which would be better? i think human development looks much more interesting and then i could minor in psychology.. what do you think?

Answer by DaniBaje
Major in psychology, it is much more relevant. You can minor in human development

Answer by Oiras Ecen
Do you have a list of majors offered in your chosen university? From what you’ve stated, you only have two choices:
*Major in Human Development, minor in Psychology
*Major in Psychology (no minor)
The former is obviously a better route.

Other good majors in preparation for graduate school in Guidance counseling include Behavioral Science, Education, Child and Family Development, Communication, or straightforward Counseling.
