Psychology is one of the most popular U.S. majors, with about 116,000 bachelor's degrees awarded each year. Programs cover developmental, social, cognitive, abnormal, biological, and personality psychology, plus statistics and research methods. Many BS-track programs require additional natural-science prerequisites for graduates aiming at clinical or counseling psychology graduate school.
A Psychology bachelor's degree alone qualifies graduates for human-services, case-management, sales, marketing, and HR roles. Clinical practice requires a master's (LPC) or doctoral (PhD/PsyD) degree.
