I was wondering if it was possible to major in Psychology and then get a masters in Social Work? I want to become a Social Worker and I've researched many sites and they are telling me to either major in Psychology or Social Work. Which one would be best? Thank You! Is it possible though to get a Bacherlor's in Psychology and then a Masters in Social Work? Or is this not allowed?

Psychology would be better. Even if you end up doing social work, you still have more varied knowledge and more career opportunities.

This is exactly what I did, and it's been very helpful in my work as a psychotherapist, especially since social work graduate programs do NOT turn out good therapists without additional training and/or post-graduate work as a clinician. If you want to work in other aspects of social work, you do not need the psych undergrad, though it might help. You'd be better off having business and management skills, as well as a second language, or expertise in working with developmentally disabled or forensic populations. Good luck.
