While careers involving the provision of direct mental health services have traditionally been the most common choices for those entering the field of psychology, many career choices and directions are available. Bachelor's degree holders in psychology now find job roles readily available in human resources, employee recruitment and selection, public relations, market research and advertising, program development, teaching, research, case management, substance abuse services, community relations, administration, and other human service areas. However, individuals who wish to have professional status and credentials as a psychologist or counselor must obtain a graduate degree.
The Department of Psychology and Counseling offers a full range of bachelor's degree programs to prepare students in applied skills or for entry into graduate and professional level training. Students should work closely with their advisors to establish career goals and to select and plan programs that will allow them to effectively pursue graduate training or develop appropriate applied skills for entry into the world of work.
Department Assessment
All baccalaureate degree candidates in the department are required to complete the department assessment during their enrollment in PSYCH 665 Senior Seminar.
