Alumni and student stories

Bluffton psychology graduates have taken many different career paths. Many of our alumni are in graduate school programs including at The Ohio State University, Cleveland State, Xavier, University of Indianapolis, Bowling Green State University, Wright State, Ohio University, Elmhurst College and  Argosy University.

Many of our students choose to enter the job field after undergraduate studies and find interesting careers. Some directly related to the psychology field include working as a residential specialist in a half-way house for mentally ill adults or lay counseling as a pastoral assistant. Other students find careers outside the concentration of psychology including education.
