At the master’s-level, most Psychology majors go into fields related to the discipline of psychology such as counseling or social work. Students interested in pursuing a master’s degree are encouraged to research programs and speak with academic or faculty advisors regularly throughout their search. Unlike doctoral degrees, master’s degrees tend not to be funded and can be very expensive, however, many schools offer Graduate Assistantships which usually allow masters students to take on jobs at the university in exchange for tuition coverage and a stipend.
