Some of the common majors include clinical psychology, social psychology, neuropsychology, industrial-organizational psychology, experimental psychology, and forensic psychology.

Psychologists work in hospitals, substance abuse clinics, social service agencies, correctional institutions, government agencies, private practices, and research laboratories.
