Help Others Professionally with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology
If you’re someone who has always been passionate about helping others and intrigued by personality and the human brain, a psychology degree is an excellent opportunity to use your interests professionally. With this degree, you’ll have the opportunity to pursue graduate school to become a licensed counselor, therapist, or even psychiatrist. However, you’ll also be prepared for a variety of jobs in the human services field like casework.
The exciting thing about psychology is that you’ll learn about the social and physiological aspects of psychology, as well as the statistics and scientific evidence behind therapeutic and counseling techniques.
