Successful Careers

The Behavioral Neuroscience, Social and General Experimental Tracks in the Baylor Ph.D. Program in Psychology are primarily academic programs: We expect that most of our graduates will ultimately accept academic positions, teaching and/or conducting research. Approximately 90% of our Ph.D. graduates (since 1990) are now in academic positions (post-doc and/or faculty). The remainder is employed in industries directly related to their graduate training. Of course, it is impossible to predict what the employment market will look like in five years. Our recent graduates have been quite successful in the marketplace. For those with more applied interests, we have in the past been able to arrange graduate internships for senior students with several national companies.

The Clinical Psychology Track is a Scientist-Practitioner Model with graduates expected to go into hospital and medical settings, private practices and academic universities.
