Careers in psychology are expanding in the state of Utah as its population continues to be one of the fastest growing in the country. Utah is a hub for agriculture, mining, outdoor recreation, information technology, and research. Government services and education also contribute to the state’s economy.
Graduates of bachelor’s degree programs in psychology have a great opportunity to work in social services and government sector jobs in rural areas of Utah. Rural and agricultural communities struggling with a changing economy, shifting family structure, and an intersection of outside influence on their culture often need help from individuals trained in social science, communication and human behavior to help them adapt to changing times.
Child and family services, vocational rehabilitation, substance abuse counseling, and social welfare are all important contributions graduates of psychology programs can make to rural communities. Psychology graduates are also employed in Utah’s open spaces as game and fish wardens and as guides and interpreters for tourists and recreational enthusiasts in the state, further highlighting the importance of psychology graduates’ skills of interpersonal communication.
In the growing urban areas of the state, where almost 80% of the state’s population lives, psychology graduates face a similar demand. Graduates from degree programs in psychology may choose to go into education, health and human services, or private industry—any field where psychological research is used to solve problems. In the state’s booming research industry, graduates apply their skills of data collection and analysis, as well as scientific methodology, to work in private research firms. An understanding of human behavior, and the ability to apply that knowledge to real world situations, opens doors to psychology graduates in the state of Utah.
