Psychology is a highly relevant field of study that is often recommended as a major for students planning to pursue an M.B.A. degree. Graduate schools of business such as that at Stanford are primarily looking for students with a strong liberal arts background that focuses on both writing and quantitative skills. Thus an appropriate undergraduate program would emphasize a broad understanding of human nature and social behavior as well as a functional grasp of mathematical concepts. Many individual courses in psychology satisfy these criteria, and the following are particularly recommended.
Psych 10---Introduction to Statistical Methods
Psych 70---Introduction to Social Psychology
Psych 102---Statistical Methods for Behavioral & Social Sciences
Psych 156---Applications of Social Psychology
Psych 166---Seminar on Personal and Social Change
Interested students should consult the admissions brochure of the Graduate School of Business for other required courses, such as the calculus sequence.
