Careers with phd in educational psychology

You can use your doctorate (Ph.D.) in educational psychology to practice as an educational psychologist. An educational psychologist mainly works with families, children, groups, agencies and/or organizations, unlike a school psychologist who primarily works with just children in an academic setting.

If you’re interested in the best ways students can learn, and have strong research and critical thinking skills-plus a way with people and a knack for numbers-a career in educational psychology may be for you. The path includes a bachelor’s and a master’s degree, and maybe a doctorate. You’ll also likely need to complete an internship.
