Where Our Graduates Go Marquette's undergraduate curriculum prepares students for the graduate study required for most professional psychology careers.
Some students use the psychology major as a springboard to medical, dental or law school.
It is also a popular major for pre-physical therapy students. Students who choose not to pursue an advanced degree find jobs in state or local rehabilitation and welfare agencies, civil service and institutions that provide care for people with physical and emotional disabilities and in industry or business settings such as human resources.
