TITLE

Pathways After the Psychology Bachelor’s Degree: What We Know\, What We Know We Don’t Know\, and What’s Next

ABSTRAC T

Following receipt of the bachelor’s degree in psychology\, graduat es tend to follow one of three emergent pathways: (a) they enter the psycho logy workforce\, (a) they seek more education in a professional field (e.g. \, medicine\, law\, occupational therapy\, veterinarian)\, or (c) they seek more education in psychology (i.e.\, graduate school to earn a master’s de gree or doctorate).  The specific decisional processing is unclear (i.e.\, how do students make the choice to go on for more education or not)\, and w ith little information about first position after college (and much less ab out longitudinal career success)\, providing advice to psychology majors is problematic.  What is known is presented here and emerging areas of resear ch are shared.
