Mental health clinics, hospitals, government agencies, rehabilitation centers, residential facilities, outpatient treatment programs, social service agencies, crisis centers, and private practices - are some of the possible settings in which master's level psychology graduates work according to the psychology department webpage at the University of Indianapolis.
In fact, master's level psychology graduates will be in demand through 2012 for a number of positions such as substance abuse and behavioral disorder counselors, community and social service specialists, mental health counselors, and marriage and family therapists. These positions have all been identified as high demand occupations according to the Indiana Department of Workforce Development.
Other students may choose to use their master's degree in psychology as a stepping-stone to a doctoral degree. Should you decide to go that route, you'll be pleased to know that the IDWD expects high demand for clinical, counseling and school psychologists as well.
