Hi everyone,
I have Widener's PsyD program in my top 10-12 schools to apply to, but one of the aspects of this University that I really like is that they have a joint PsyD/MBA program that can be completed in 5 years. The PsyD program, which has its own APA accredited intership at Widener, takes 5 years to complete alone. Through the addition of summer courses, the MBA can also be earned in that same 5 year time period. I see this as a huge advantage because of my interests to do psychological and business consulting in addition to my private clinical practice in the future. My question is: Will my doctorate be enough to be hired/contracted to do most business consultation jobs? Or will I be much more marketable and be worth more money if I have an MBA in addition to the PsyD?
Any thoughts? Anyone do consultation work that could share some expertise?
Thanks
- Kevin
