IF YOU’RE FASCINATED by how and why humans behave in certain ways, you just might find yourself in demand in a dizzying array of industries. Think about it. The study of psychology offers unique career pathways, from the social sciences and services to education; from healthcare to business, finance, sales or industrial organization; or from human resources to criminalistics.*
While psychology is one of the three most likely majors to spur individuals to seek a graduate degree, according to the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, more than half of all psychology majors enter the workforce with options.
As a JWU psychology major, you’ll be able to experience our academic advantages. These include small classes; faculty who get to know you, mentor you, work with you to achieve success; experiential learning and clinical opportunities from early in your academic career; and access to valuable networks that our faculty — who bring their own practical experiences to the classroom — maintain.
Our curriculum also lets you select from a generous choice of free electives and minors, where you can explore additional interests and potential career tracks. Pursue an 8-course Counseling Psychology specialization to discover effective counseling practices in a supervised clinical environment, or choose to study the theories and techniques of group therapy, crisis management, marriage and family, addiction or case management.
