What should I do with my Psychology degree? There are limits to what you can do with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. Completing the BS in Psychology program will certainly prepare you for a wide variety of jobs involving working with people, but it is very difficult to get work as a psychologist with only an undergraduate degree. For those interested in a wider variety of options, further education will be necessary. Many master’s degree programs allow graduates to become licensed, and doctoral programs can open doors to many opportunities including private practice, teaching, and research. We want to make sure that you have the right educational background to achieve your goals. The good news is that a B.S. from Walden will open a lot of doors. You will have stronger skills, greater knowledge, and qualify for many more job opportunities.
