Psychology in the Army

I am currently in the ROTC program and plan on becoming an officer upon graduation. I am majoring in psychology and I have a few questions that I would like answered:

      1. What careers are there that relate to psychology other than clinical psychology?

     2. Does MISO (PSYOP) use psychology often?

     3. Can I use psychology in the Military Police Corps?

    Re: Psychology in the Army

    A BS in psychology wouldn't be considered a specialty in the Army. You can use aspects of your degree to excel in your job, but its not a deciding factor for any of the jobs you listed. If you were to obtain your doctorate in psychology, other than clinical, you could be a research psychologist (71F).

     

    Best of luck!
