Educational Programs and Possibilities
The largest metropolis in Connecticut is Bridgeport, so while job opportunities may be somewhat limited, the opportunities created by attaining a degree within the state border, is not. The University of Connecticut offers one of the best PhD programs in the country for clinical psychologists and industrial-organizational psychologists.
One may also choose from masters degrees in a wide array of specialties as well as the token bachelors degree and associate degree/certification programs that can be great for networking and experience building.
Psychology in Connecticut Job Prospects
The size of Connecticut somewhat limits one's ability to work within the state, though those, who practice out of Bridgeport and other cities report an annual median wage of around $74,000, according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook. Licensing requires a doctorate degree and adherence to licensure standards from the American Psychological Association.
