What This Document Is
This is a template for a Career Research Assignment within the PSYCH 112: Career Development in Psychology course at Brigham Young University-Idaho. It provides a framework for students to investigate and report on a specific career path within the field of psychology, using Clinical Psychology as an example.
Why This Document Matters
This assignment is designed for students exploring potential career options in psychology. It’s typically used early in the course to help students understand the educational requirements, job duties, and potential income associated with different roles. Completing this assignment will help students determine if a particular career aligns with their interests and goals.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This template offers a starting point for research but does not *conduct* the research for you. It provides a structure, but students are responsible for gathering current data and tailoring the information to their chosen career path. It is a guide, not a completed report.
What This Document Provides
The template includes sections for outlining: the chosen career, a detailed job description, required education, and potential income. It also provides an example focused on Clinical Psychology, covering typical duties, educational pathways (Bachelor’s, Master’s, PhD/PsyD), and salary expectations based on 2016-17 data. This preview does *not* include the full research report, nor does it provide completed examples beyond the initial Clinical Psychology section.
