I went back to college the first time because I really wanted to teach. I've been teaching all my life. I've taught horseback riding. In psychology, I've taught everything from statistics to research methods. I think a good teacher should be able to do that and to help the student to learn much more quickly.
Many students study social work, law, or pursue a master of business administration.
Our curriculum is general, but very solid, to give them the preparation they need for graduate school. There is almost no job that isn't related to psychology. We have graduates ranging from personnel directors at banks, to park rangers, to investigators for the Department of Justice. All the ones who have come back to talk to us have been complimentary about how their experience at Hood helped prepare them for these jobs.
