Overview

A rock obelisk in the town of Rugby, North Dakota marks the geographical center of North America. There are few people to take note, however, as over 90 percent of the land in North Dakota is used for farming. The most rural state in the United States still offers ample opportunity for both study and employment.

Psychology Education in North Dakota

North Dakota has fewer than 10 schools with psychology programs. Study on the PhD level is available, but opportunities are limited. Psychology graduate students can join the North Dakota Psychological Association. Along with scholarships provided by the American Psychological Association and Psi Chi, individual universities and psychology departments also offer scholarship opportunities. For example, the University of North Dakota’s clinical psychology program offers resident Native Americans financial assistance to encourage them to enter the program.

Outlook for Psychology in North Dakota

North Dakota's rural environment offers fewer opportunities for employment for psychologists than other states. Pay is in the midrange for the region, with a mean annual salary for clinical, counseling, and school psychologists of $62,120 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2010 data). The North Dakota Psychological Association provides some support for professionals by lobbying the state legislature and providing a forum for psychologists to communicate with each other.
