What can you do with a degree in psychology?

A psychology degree opens the door to a career in many fields—banking, law, medicine, research, marketing, human resources and counseling/therapy practice. You can work as a school psychologist, guidance or a mental health counselor with additional master’s-level training. Or you can study to become a doctoral-level clinical or school psychologist and pursue a path in academia, research or practice. Many postgraduate tracks require a major in psychology.

A wide range of supervised experiences—both in the field and in the laboratory—are available to students.

I have all good things to say about my past undergraduate experience at ³ÉÈËӰƬ. Not only was my clinical interest reinforced by many professors, but I also got heavily involved in psychological research due to my mentor’s influence, Dr. Michael Moore. I would not be in ³ÉÈËӰƬ’s Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program today if it were not for the program’s amazing support, structure and opportunities.
