Regent alumni have been very successful
in obtaining professional positions in a wide range of
settings. The primary purpose of our program is to train
psychologists for a career in professional practice. Our
training model is designed to meet typical licensing requirements
for psychologists in Virginia and many other states. Students
are encouraged to regularly review current licensure requirements
in the state in which they desire licensure in order to
fulfill any unique training experiences that may be required
outside of Virginia.
Our students have successfully obtained
professional employment in faith-based Christian group
practices, Veterans Administration Centers, active-duty
psychology slots in the U.S. military, psychiatric hospitals,
community mental health centers, correctional institutions,
university teaching positions, university counseling programs
and a variety of specialty settings such as post-doctoral
fellowships in neuropsychology.
One of the more attractive features
of professional psychology is the career versatility it affords
to its professionals. Psychologists have broad and expanding
scopes of practice in many health and mental health arenas.
Often psychologists engage in a wide range of activities
that vary throughout the course of their careers. The Department
of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook predicts
that jobs will grow at a faster than average rate for psychologists
during the upcoming years. Additional information about careers
in psychology can be obtained from the career area of the American
Psychological Association website. |
