After Graduation

Approximately 90% of Grove City College's psychology majors pursue graduate training within three years of graduation. Most of these alumni enter graduate programs in psychology (either master’s or doctoral programs), but many are also accepted into law or medical schools, seminaries, or MBA or MSW programs.

With advanced degrees in psychology, Grove City College graduates are conducting research at major universities, teaching future psychology majors at colleges around the country, providing mental health services in hospitals and clinics, directing human relations departments in industry, and serving the social services needs of citizens in both urban and rural areas.

Psychology majors who choose not to attend graduate school are finding employment in various private and governmental agencies that serve children and youth, working with people struggling with addiction and substance abuse, and finding entry-level management positions in business. They serve in positions such as nonprofit executive director, relationship educator, editor, event planner, and director of a youth leadership development program.
