No matter where in the state a graduate finds himself or herself after completing a bachelor’s in psychology—from Chicago to Champaign—doors of employment will be open due to the wide variety of skills learned in school. Graduates from bachelor degree programs in psychology are prepared with good interpersonal skills, interpretive skills, and a strong background in research and communication.
These skill sets poise graduates for work in nearly every industry in Illinois. Statewide, employment in all occupations is expected to grow 12% through 2016. While the state was once a great agriculture producing state, it is most known for its major metropolitan area of Chicago as well as several other large cities, making up 88% of the state population. Cities like Chicago present a huge variety of career options for psychology grads, including many of the fastest growing occupations in the state. Customer service, nursing, post-secondary education, and service industries are expected to lead job growth, according to State Occupational Projections.
Psychology grads are commonly employed in these fields because of their backgrounds in communication, human behavior, and mental health. Psychology graduates also find work in large cities in the fields of social welfare and criminal justice. Many go on to work as parole officers, case managers, and in emergency management and social assistance.
