Applied Psychology

It is highly recommended that Applied Psychology majors who plan on working at the bachelors level after graduation or applying to a masters program in counseling or an allied health or human services field take an additional concentration, minor, or major in one or more career-related areas: human services, gerontology, English, mass communication, child & family studies, religion, environment & community, business administration, management, marketing, international education & missions, or computer studies.

ADDITIONAL EXPECTATIONS:
In addition to required coursework, all Applied Psychology majors are expected to:

• Uphold the Psychology Department Code of Ethics;
• Participate in departmental meetings, events, and student organizations;
• Be in regular conversation with your faculty advisor about career preparation, adjustment to college life, and any problems you are encountering; and,
• Compile a portfolio of materials documenting your experiences, knowledge, and skills relevant to your goals for life after graduation.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Because job and graduate school preparations can vary widely depending on career direction, CAREFULLY PLAN your course of studies in regular conversation with your faculty advisor.
