What can I do with a Master’s Degree in 心理学?
LMU’s MS degree in 心理学 is not a clinical or counseling program, so it will not lead directly to licensure. 目前, the American Psychological Association only offers accreditation for doctoral, internship and postdoctoral residency programs. However, our school is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). Degrees earned at SACS-accredited schools are recognized by other graduate and post-graduate institutions should you choose to pursue a terminal degree in the field. Students at SACS-accredited schools are also more likely to qualify for several special benefits, including corporate tuition reimbursement.
Since psychology is such a broad and diverse field of study, enrolling in LMU’s MS 心理学 program may provide direct entry to the following professions and domains:
- Full-time faculty/administrator at a Two-Year College (Junior College)
