What can you do with a bachelor behavioral science degree?

Answer 1

A behavioral science degree seems like a very vague degree. It won't prepare you for any specific job upon graduation. You would most likely have to go on and get a master's degree or some type of certification. This would be a decent degree to get if you are interested in social work. But you'd have to go on to get your Master's and probably get licensed by your state. People should be very careful when picking their college major, as a lot of majors are just plain useless. No employer will hire you without experience, either. A degree in behavioral sciences with zero experience will get you nowhere. Education is great, but it is pricey. You need to be prepared to take a minimum wage job if you get this degree with no experience doing anything.

Another Answer:I got a job as a Behavioral Therapist in California with only a bachelors (working on my masters right now). My company required an extra three months of ABA training, which they provided, during which time I was only paid $10 an hour, but I now make $16 an hour. So you CAN get a decent job with your degree (though I imagine finding an agency that is hiring in this economy might be kind of tricky. I know my company hasn't hired anyone new in over a year...)

Answer 2

With a bachelor's degree in behavioral science, you can pursue careers in human services, counseling, social work, or research. You can work in settings such as mental health facilities, social service agencies, or schools. Additional education or certifications may be required for specific roles or to advance your career.
