If possible, choose some classes which reflect your personal interests and career goals, and balance them with courses in the liberal arts. Take advantage of the wide variety of courses offered. Be assured that a solid degree in psychology will serve you well, but also be aware that many employers respect a college record which gives evidence of a wide range of interests and abilities. You may find it helpful to talk to upperclass students, graduates, or faculty members to get opinions on course selection. Make an effort to get personally acquainted with some professors, both here and at other institutions.
Many graduates look for work specifically in psychology.
As a wide ranging liberal arts degree, psychology prepares you to work in a large variety of fields that require critical thinking, problem solving, and general human relations skills. Many employers in business, for example, look for general liberal arts graduates. Keep in mind that many jobs and careers do not fit into the disciplinary or professional categories that we use in college. You have the opportunity to use your liberal arts background in careers as diverse as your imagination allows. It is difficult to suggest a typical four-year program in psychology, because each student's program is specifically tailored to his or her needs and interest.
