Undergraduate FAQ

I have no plans to continue on to graduate school. What career options do I have with only a Bachelor's in psychology?

Students often ask, "What can I do with psychology if I don't continue my education beyond the Bachelor's degree?" As we've said, having a Bachelor's degree in Psychology doesn't make you a psychologist. However, there are positions available in business and industry as well as in the public sector for which your training in psychology provides a valuable background. These jobs range from psychological technicians in mental health facilities to positions in human relations and public relations firms. For businesses that typically hire people at the Bachelor's level whom they then train for supervisory and management positions, psychology offers an excellent foundation, especially when supplemented with a few courses from business and management.
