Summary:

This book was prepared with two audiences in mind: students and faculty. If students read this book early enough in their college careers-years before they are in the job market-they might improve their qualifications and chances of success by planning their programs differently. /// Keeping in mind the two major audiences and the various purposes of this book, I have organized the contributions into four sections. Different sections will, it is hoped, suit the needs of particular persons at different times and can be read independently of other sections, although it is recommended that students familiarize themselves with all of the contributions. Students should find within these pages information and suggestions that will have a major impact on their undergraduate programs and career plans. /// The first section consists basically of "how-to-do-it" chapters. While written especially for the psychology major, it contains valuable guidance and advice for almost everyone at the undergraduate level. /// The second section of this book contains information from several categories of employers and from former undergraduates who are now employed. /// Part III involves training for careers in community services, mental health, and public affairs. /// Part IV presents survey information, models and problems of majoring in psychology as an undergraduate.
