Support for Psychology Majors
Psychology majors can work in diverse fields such as community and social services, human resources, management and business, student affairs and services, law enforcement, education, and scientific research. We strongly encourage students to explore their career interests by taking various courses in and outside of psychology, visiting the campus Career Center, and utilizing the resources available in the Advising Office.
We have a Canvas page with continually-updated information on opportunities for students. To self-enroll in the Canvas page click this link.
