Professional Societies of Interest to Psychology and Neuroscience Majors
Why explore professional organizations?
Career research: Professional associations and publications are often the best sources of information about the current state of any field, possible career paths and qualifications.
- Networking: Use the association's membership directory to locate professionals. Once you've read about a career, conducting informational interviews of professionals will give you a first-hand account of an occupation's rewards, requirements, and frustrations. Informational interviews can sometimes open doors to internship experiences!
- Join the organization if you'll get to network with other students interested in the field, with professionals, or if it has other attractive benefits.
If you're considering a career as a psychologist or neuroscientist there are links to over 100 professional societies below.
If you don't see the career of interest to you below, you can find professional organizations that match your career interest by searching the Career Interests Web Link Library, talking with an academic advisor, career counselor, or professor about your career interests, or by searching Google. Most fields, even small ones, have a professional association.
