Psychology

“Presentation is a place for opportunity and success. It is a great learning environment because you not only have a great connection with professors, but you feel comfortable in a small school.”

- Nathan Macleod

Where Can a Degree in Psychology Take You?

One of the greatest advantages of a degree in psychology is its versatility. After completing our bachelor's program, students can decide to move in many different directions depending on their goals and interests. Many enter graduate school to earn an advanced degree to become a licensed counselor or psychotherapist. Others enter the field of human or social services, stepping into roles such as:
 

• Career counselor
• Rehabilitation specialist
• Case manager
• Child care worker
• Probation officer
• Market researcher
• Psychology laboratory assistant

Some psychology graduates go on to apply their degree in other fields — such as education, sales, media or business. Your firm foundation in understanding human behavior and motivators, in addition to your enhanced communication skills, will give you a transferable edge beyond the traditional field of psychology.
