How do graduates of the Masters Degree Program in Forensic Psychology utilize their training?
Most graduates obtain master’s level psychology jobs in agencies and institutions such as prisons, juvenile facilities, social service agencies, police departments, child care agencies, probation, parole, family court, addiction services, hospitals, and community mental health centers. Some students get jobs as forensic researchers doing studies and evaluations of at-risk populations. A few graduates have been accepted in federal law enforcement agencies after earning a Master’s Degree in Forensic Psychology. As in most careers, graduates often must endure a rigorous job application search before finding suitable employment. Although almost all graduates find exciting opportunities in the field of forensic psychology, a job search can be expected to take at least about three months.
