Psychology

Psychology is a very broad discipline involving research and application in every aspect of living beings (human and animal). Skills that make for excellence in some aspect of psychology include: developing and carrying out empirical research (both applied and theoretical), interpreting results, communicating to others, listening, engaging, involving, showing an interest in others, observing and many more.

The strong critical thinking skills, along with the abilities to research, write and understand human behavior, and acquiring skills to work with others developed in the curriculum are highly valued in a wide range of positions in industry, business, law and social services. The master's degree is generally the minimum professional degree for licensing or certification of psychologists who work in education, business, hospitals, clinics, prisons and private practice.

Career possibilities (some of which will require completion of graduate programs) include:

• Human Resource professional
• Caseworker
• Clinical, research or school psychologist
• College or university professor
• Counselor
• Mental health worker
• Research psychologist
• Marketing researcher

Your undergraduate academic advisor can answer questions about the requirements of the major and minor, and how best to make use of the resources and opportunities available to students (selection of minors, course availability and selection, research, internships, clubs, etc.) Your advisor is also a good starting point for questions you are not sure who should answer.

Seeing an advisor is often useful for students starting the major or transferring in from another program or college.

Any questions regarding college requirements should be directed to the college office in French Hall West, 2nd floor lobby 513-556-5860.
