The Next Step
Following a BSc in applied behavior science, I aim to pursue a Master’s degree in clinical psychology, applied, or an unpaid internship or entry-level job in social work, behavior analysis, or clinical psychology. I will attend trade shows, seminars, and business groups to network and get mentorship. To increase my knowledge and talents, I want a master’s degree or specialized certificate. This will make me a licensed clinical expert or qualified practitioner in my field.
