A masters program in the sciences will require a certain amount of background to apply. You don't need a major in it, but you need particular classes, which might be as many as needing a major. Look up some masters programs - they'll list the requirements for application.

Hmm... even though there is a lot of psychology used in Marketing, it is mostly "consumer psychology" which is actually the name of a major at some schools. When it comes down to it, it is up to the discretion of the grad school. To be honest, I think it will be hard. Psychology is a relatively common major, and having just a bachelor's in it is almost worthless. Therefore, you're gonna be up against tons of Psychology majors when applying to Psych grad school. If the school has one more slot open, and they have you with say a 3.6 and a Psych major with a 3.0, I think they might just take them. My point is, you might be able to, but it's gonna be hard. A 4.0 might be your only hope. If you're passionate about psychological stuff, I'm pretty sure the finance/accounting core stuff in the marketing major will bore you, so think about majoring in Psych and minoring in Marketing.
