留學美國選修心理學的問題

Let me clarify a little bit more.

I take an assumption that your family member will fulfill the General Education requirement by IGETC.

The exact requirement of IGETC is Biological Sciences. In a simple way, you are required to select one qualified course under IGETC (course selection varies by colleges). It may not necessary in Biology, but must be biology-related.

Also, Physics or Chemistry is under Physical Science. One is needed only and they are not the only choices as well (as explained above).

By the way, hopefully your family member has a backup plan in transfer.
The schools that the counselor mentioned has an admission rate less than 4% for international students. In other words, if your family remember is not a U.S. person, the chance of getting into either one is really low (even the academic result is competitive).

1) the reason why you have to study science subjects even though you are psychology major is that science is considered as part of general education. In general education, you will find that you have to study a lot of subjects which is not related to your major, such as science subjects like chemistry, physics, geology; art and humanities such as arts, history, film, languages; social science such as philosophy, economics, social science and so on. To apply universities, you have to meet the general education [GE] requirement. So that is the reason why you have to study science enough thought you are psychology major.

2) since your major is psychology, the best universities providing best psychology program are stanford university, University of California, Los Angeles, and University of California, Santa Barbara
