So my two main interests carrier wise are Hypnosis, and Personal Training.
So I sent in my application. to COSC, because I thought that would offer me the most flexable "degree" option.
When I talked to an advisior, she steered me away from that idea, and I ended up looking at a simple Psych Concentration.
I plugged away at acouple CLEP tests for awhile, got distracted, months passed, and now I am ready to put my nose to the grindstone.
However, upon reflection, it really is a waste to have a "general studies" degree with a concentration in psychology. If I was planning on doing that, I would have went with EC or TESC.
So now I am revisiting the idea.
What is involved in crafting your own specific "concentration"? I hear an essay is involved. How long is that essay? What else is involved.
Now, I am thinking I should get a spreadsheet and look for all the requirements for a psychology degree, look at all the requirements for a "health and wellness" degree, and pick equally from both and try to craft some sort of "Mind and body" degree, which looks at the connections between the two (How mental health leads to physical health and vice verca)
Please offer any insights into crafting a custom concentration. And if its not worth the effort, should I think about switching to one of the other two to have a proper major?
