Entry requirements

Transfer applicants are assessed on prior college coursework and GPA.

Career prospects

A bachelor’s degree in Psychology prepares graduates for entry-level roles such as case management, research assistant, behavioral health technician, human resources support, or community outreach coordinator. Many students use the degree as a foundation for graduate study (master’s or doctoral programs) in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, industrial-organizational psychology, or related fields that lead to licensure and advanced professional roles.

Scholarships & funding angle

Students should explore institutional scholarships, merit- and need-based aid, and external awards targeted to psychology majors. Work-study positions, research assistantships, and paid internships can offset costs while providing relevant experience. Advising offices and department coordinators can help identify competitive funding and application timelines.
