For those psychology majors residing in Louisiana, opportunities may exist for careers as a child welfare specialist, mental health technician, case manager, and parole specialist. Beyond social service work, many graduates of psychology programs begin successful careers in education, sales, and law enforcement. According to the Louisiana Workforce Commission, the state will need more mental health technicians, probation and parole specialists, personal and home care aides, social workers, and educators over the next 10 years.
The Bachelor of Science in psychology program at Loyola University New Orleans has a unique track called pre-health psychology. This program retains the bulk of a traditional psychology major, but also adds adjunct courses that most medical and dental schools prefer students to have taken. The psychology department of Northwestern State offers, in addition to a regular psychology major, a Bachelor of Science in Addiction Studies. The program prepares students for careers in helping patients to prevent and overcome substance abuse. Our Lady of Holy Cross College offers a variety of tracks for psychology students, including addictions counseling, marriage and family counseling, and applied behavioral science. Courses include sexual trauma, advanced interviewing and counseling, psychology of learning, and death and dying. This program is designed to prepare students for either early entry into a master's program or entry into the workforce upon graduation.
