Time, effort, and a thirst for knowledge are key qualities for students who wish to obtain their psychology PhDs. To obtain your doctorate, you will spend around five years in graduate studies, while also conducting original research and contributing to a large body of research in a specific field of Psychology.
Psychology PhD students must pick from a host of majors. Some of the common majors include clinical psychology, social psychology, developmental psychology, forensic psychology, neuropsychology, experimental psychology, and industrial-organizational psychology. The large variety of specializations means psychologists find themselves working in a wide range of locations. Psychologists are found in hospitals, universities, correctional institutions, substance abuse clinics, government agencies, social services agencies, and private practices.
As part of your educational experience, you must develop a dissertation, which students usually begin formulating ideas for during their first year of school. They will defend these ideas and their research findings at the end of their studies, a culmination of years of research and coursework that could dramatically impact applied areas of psychology.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows a 12% job growth rate for psychologists nationwide between 2008 and 2018. Vermont reflects these statistics, making the location attractive for those who wish to work in the state after receiving their doctorates.
