Where might you be able to go with a psychology related master's degree? Try the boardroom, the locker room, or the classroom to name just a few.
Pennsylvania colleges and universities offer specialized graduate level psychology programs that can lead to careers in a wide range of fields such as athletic counseling, school counseling and the fast-growing field of industrial-organizational psychology, which teaches students how to apply psychological principles to organizations or institutions.
A 2010 report by the Pennsylvania Workforce Development Agency listed educational, vocational and school counselors, mental health counselors, and mental health and substance abuse social workers as high priority occupations in Pennsylvania.
Of course, a psychology related master's degree can also be an excellent foundation for doctoral studies in the field. The Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry predicts statewide employment growth in this field to be just .6 percent through 2018 - only slightly faster than the .2 percent expected for all occupations in the state.
The following are some psychology related graduate programs across the state:
Looking for a way to combine your passion for sports with a career in psychology? Consider California University of Pennsylvania's online Master of Science in sport management studies with a concentration in sport counseling. You'll learn some of the issues and techniques involved with counseling athletes.
The University of Pittsburgh offers a plethora of graduate level psychology programs. Choose from clinical psychology, cognitive psychology, social psychology, developmental psychology or biological and health psychology. Or, it may be possible to create your own individualized program based on your interests.
If you want to apply your psychology knowledge to the business field, then the University of Pennsylvania's Master of Applied Positive Psychology might be for you. You'll learn how to apply the principles of positive psychology to the fields of education, business, research and life coaching.
