Graduate instruction in psychology at Bowling Green State University leads to the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees, offering specializations
in the following areas: clinical, developmental, industrial-organizational, and the neural and cognitive sciences. While graduate
students normally meet the requirements for the master's degree en route to the Ph.D., we do not generally admit students
who seek only the master's degree. Graduate Brochure (pdf)

business or governmental organizations). In a recent survey of students who received their Ph.D. from 1995-2000, we found
that 100% of these alumni obtained jobs in the field of psychology. Thirty-six percent obtained employment in the field of
academia, 24% in the industrial-business sector, 14% in purely clinical positions, 14% in clinical-research settings, and
12% in purely research positions.
