Though acquiring a B.A. in psychology does not allow you to call yourself a psychologist, there are many ways to apply what you've learned at the bachelor's level. Most students with a bachelor's degree in psychology will have obtained in-depth knowledge of human behavior and basic human relation skills in addition to solid scientific research and statistical skills. These skills offer you career versatility. Although it may be difficult to obtain a position directly related to psychology without a graduate degree, some background in psychology is useful and sometimes required for the broad employment areas of personnel, research, clinical settings, and social services.
Companies hire psychology majors for a variety of positions.
