Psychology Major with Inclusive Education


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: College of Arts and Sciences

The Psychology Major is a liberal arts major and not a pre-professional program. Work within the field of psychology requires an advanced degree in the discipline, at least a master’s degree. Many of our students combine their study of psychology with a concentration in inclusive education (NYS Certification: Middle Childhood & Middle Childhood with Disabilities). These students usually find employment within school systems soon after graduation and within five years earn the required Master’s Degree for Professional Certification. Most of our students pursue advanced degrees within psychology in areas such as counseling, school counseling, or school psychology in preparation for work in human services or education. Some seek the Ph.D. degree for careers in college/university teaching and research while others obtain graduate degrees in related disciplines such as business (e.g. human resources or organizational development) or social work.
