Psychology and You
How to think about your career and job opportunities with an undergraduate degree in psychology
An undergraduate education in psychology at Wright State provides a strong foundation in psychological theory, research, data management, and statistical analysis. It also provides the opportunity to develop valuable communication skills, both oral and written. With these insights and highly marketable skills, psychology majors have the flexibility to pursue jobs and careers in which these needs exist.
Where can you apply your undergraduate degree in psychology?
There are currently over 50 divisions recognized by the American Psychological Association (APA), each associated with different topics areas. Consider applying what you'll learn as a psychology major to one or more of these areas. Check out the APA website: http://www.apa.org/about/division/ for more information
