Exploring Careers

Psychology and BCN majors develop both general and technical skills applicable to a wide range of careers. For example, interpersonal skills may be equally useful whether working as a clinical psychologist, a corporate recruiter, or a rehabilitation worker. Many concentrators go on to graduate or professional school. Since Psychology draws from the biological and social sciences, students should consider blending psychology course work with related fields such as Anthropology, Sociology, Statistics, Biology, Urban Planning, Women's Studies, Program in the Environment, Education, and Social Work.  The guides below can assist in preparing you for your dream career.
