Alumni Careers

The first students in our Clinical-Counseling Psychology Program graduated in May 2002. Before 2002, students earned a master’s degree from either Clinical Psychology or Counseling Psychology.

We are proud of all of our graduates. Many of our alumni are employed in mental health centers where they provide direct services or, in some cases, have moved into management. Also, some of our graduates continued their education in doctoral programs in psychology.
