Careers
Most careers in psychology require graduate study at the Master’s or Doctoral level. However, there are increasing opportunities in business, education and health care for Bachelor’s-level psychologists. Appropriate Master’s Degree Programs can lead to a wide range of careers, including school psychology, behavior analysis, business applications (human factors psychology and industrial-organizational psychology), clinical psychology (if one receives appropriate education and obtains a license), and a variety of other careers found in school settings (counseling, testing, research and administration), as well as community mental health clinics, prevention and/or high risk programs for health/lifestyle issues, programs using applied behavior analysis, rehabilitation centers and other health facilities. Psychologists also are employed by nearly all levels of governmental agencies, such as the Department of Education, the Department of Veteran’s Affairs, the Department of Defense and the Department of Health and Human Services, as well as state, county and local mental health services. Psychologists who receive their Doctorate may become professors, researchers, consultants, public policy analysts and licensed clinical psychologists.
