I was interested in getting my Masters in Psychology from an online univ. I am just a little worried that it's not accepted by employers or nationally by the psychology board so if I want to go on to get my doctorates degree it wouldn't be recognized. Help!

i think it would be better to get your masters degree at a credible university.

You are right, places like University of Phoenix, though accredited, don't have diplomas that carry much weight when looking for employment. Definitely less credible.

You don't need a masters to get a phd. But getting an online masters would not help your cause at all..

Great..You have Master's Degree in psychology then you should feel proud.I also wanted to do my major in psychology.But I couldn't. Anyways you should go for psychology.There are numerous options are available in psychology like therapy, human factors, and research.You should go for your specialized field in which you can use your expertise.You can also do some additional ceu courses of psychology for great remuneration.But It should be done from an accredited and authorised course provider.

How many years does it take to get a masters in psychology

How many years does it take to get a masters in psychology?
I just asked a question about degrees in psychology. Someone told me that you can become a licensed therapist with a masters in psychology. How many years of schooling after my bachelors will I need to get my masters in psychology?

I think I answered the other question too. After a BA it takes about 2 to 3 years to work through a Master's program. A doctoral degree takes about 4-5. If you are considering what you want to do after completing your undergraduate degree I recommend finding some professionals in your area with varying degrees, and see what their career is like so you can make an informed decision, rather than just relying on what takes the least amount of time.

It's 2 years for a Master's in psychology, counseling, social work, or Marriage and family therapy.


3
You'll have to graduate with honours or close to honours with good relationships with your professors to even be considered for a msters program. The programs can anywhere from six months to ten years. They usually take about two years, but that is usually only the case if you study full-time. Masters degrees involve courses, but not always. How long it takes depends on how long it takes you to defend a thesis successfully. The someone who told you that is right by the way. It is possible.

Youth counselors are needed on a routine basis at children's group homes and they pay pretty well. You may or may not actually do sit-down therapy, but you'll offer guidance and monitor behavior. Chemical Dependency Technician- They monitor clients, do intake chemical assessments, and offer support as needed. Customer Service jobs: Banks, Collection Agencies, etc.

The field of psychology can be applied to any law enforcement agency, either State or Local. other alternatives, Human Resources, Counselor, and Social worker.

What can you do with a masters in psychology

What can you do with a masters in psychology?
I know that I'd be better off with a certified or licensed position as a counselor, but I don't know if I can fit the internships into my life as a full time working mother. Is a masters in general psychology actually worth anything?

You can teach, do research and work on getting your LPC. You might just want to continue on for your PhD.


2
You can help the police to solve crimes.


3
Not to be a bad guy but there really aren't any psychology factorys opening up anytime soon...

Like you said counseling is the big thing. But there is also school psychologists, teaching psych. to college students, and you could proabably get a job doing social work. For almost any position you have to be licensed & in my state pass Praxsius 1 & 2. Look through the job ad's and see what most jobs require.


5
you can be a forensic psychologist and help the cops solve crimes =))

If the master's degree you're thinking of is in general psych, there really won't be much that you can do with that degree, other than put the knowledge you gain to work in a retail or business setting. The Ph.D. is the entry level degree in psychology (as opposed to counseling, where the entry level degree is the master's). With only a master's degree and without a clinical focus (again, as you would get in a counseling, marriage and family therapy or social work degree), you just have advanced knowledge in the field of general psychology. If you're interested in working in the field, I would recommend that you find a way to fit the internships into your experience. There are a number of programs where you can go part-time and get a degree in counseling. Make sure that the program you are looking at is "regionally accredited." An example would be accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (www.sacscoc.org).

It should be, as long as the university's curriculum is formally accredited and the online coursework is accepted as equivalent to on-campus classes.
