Where do Psychology Graduates Work?

Psychology majors seek and obtain a wide range of positions with their bachelor's degree. Many graduates become educators, especially in the areas of early childhood and special education. Many obtain social services positions, working as case managers, or assisting in programs that provide services to people with special needs. Many begin careers in business, often in positions that require the management of human resources.

Employment data suggest that many psychology majors are securing good jobs, and that more pursue jobs than graduate work.
