Possible Career Options
Graduates of our clinical psychology programs are prepared to obtain a license as a professional counselor or pursue a doctorate in clinical psychology. Demographic analyses show there is a shortage of licensed counselors and psychologists and although the local population is often not aware of the benefits that counseling can provide, there is a tremendous growth potential for the career paths of licensed counselors and psychologists.
It was clear that UTRGV was the best option because it promotes innovation and accessible education for its staff, students, and community.
