While there are a lot of entry-level job options available for people with an undergraduate degree in psychology, most people will find that there are greater opportunities available with a graduate degree. As the demand for mental health services increases, the need for trained individuals with a strong psychological background rises as well.
Some graduate students focus on a general psychology degree, but most choose to focus on a particular specialty area within psychology such as school psychology, clinical psychology or counseling psychology. The field of psychology you choose to focus on may depend on a number of different factors including your interests, how long you want to spend in school and your career goals. Learn more about some of the job options with a graduate degree in psychology.
