After Kenyon

Nearly half of all psychology majors go to graduate school in one of the allied health fields. Others pursue careers in education, law, and sales. Some students combine a psychology major with a minor in another discipline or concentration, such as neuroscience. Yet others find psychology courses an excellent way to round out their liberal-arts education while majoring in another subject.
