Alumni Profiles

Not all psychology majors are interested in a career in mental health services. In fact, several of our recent graduates have pursued post-graduate study in law school, medical school, or other health-related specialties (e.g. physical therapy, physician assistant programs, or veterinary school). Students following Butler’s pre-health studies curriculum are required to have a major within a department and although many choose Biology or Chemistry as a major, some also choose Psychology as their primary course of study. Psychology majors who wish to apply to medical school complete the psychology curriculum outlined for majors while also completing the sequence of pre-health studies courses recommended by the Post-Graduate Studies office. Students wishing to enter law school complete the psychology curriculum and work closely with Pre-Law Advising in the Student Success Center to prepare for the LSAT exam and for the law school application process.
