A degree in psychology can lead in many different directions, even though the counseling end of psychology may be most well known. Students with a psychology major go into business settings, academics, research careers, law, health-related careers and counseling, to name a few. For example, psychology is an excellent undergraduate pre-professional major that helps prepare students to enter allied health fields (such as occupational therapy and physical therapy) where people skills and research skills are necessary. Some of these careers, such as law and health professions, require additional training.
