The education process for psychology majors is very important. Those that are going into counseling have to learn how to talk to people and be an active listener. Those that are going into behavior have to learn a plethora of mental illness that they may see in patients. Each field, rather it is forensic, educational, or cognitive, learn something different than the other.
With this country growing rapidly every day, psychology students will need to learn how to work with a more diverse group of people. It is important for psychology students to learn about diversity and other multicultural experiences so they are not biased toward one specific group of people. Multicultural programs will include learning about the LGBTQ community, religious groups, language background, and socioeconomic status. With these programs instilled in the education process, psychology students will have a better chance in the work force because they will understand all groups of people. Learning about diversity will help psychology students no matter the field that they chose to enter.
Ethics are a also very important part of psychology. Every psychology student needs to take an ethic class because it tells the students what they can and cannot do in research, counseling, and studies with participants. After graduation, people in psychology are required to have 20 continual education hours. People can go to seminars where they host a plethora of classes that include but are not limited to reflective practice-self-assessment, scientific knowledge methods, ethical-legal standards-policy, and individual-cultural diversity (Wise et al 290). These classes make help keep people updated with any new research, laws, and studies in the psychology field.
