Wow ! A Master's degree in psychology! Congratulations. You can be a counsellor or teach psychology to Business management professionals. Or come to India. There are a whole lot of options here. With the proliferation of business management schools in India, you can try your luck here. In India , even students of visual communications study psychology for a semester. They study stuff like parent-adult-child ego, associative psychology and so on. I have read in Lee Iaccoca's autobiography that he studied psychology as part of his MBA. In big industrial houses, there are psychology teachers imparting training to existing engineers and managers and to fresh management trainees. Career counselling centres require people like you. You options are endless. Hope my limited knowledge has helped you. Regards, S.Suresh, Trichy,

Will graduate schools accept non-psychology majors? In other words, do you have to have a Bachelor's in psychology to go to graduate school for psychology?

I dont know but even if , dont let them kill your dream :D

Phhh, psychology? Is there even an entrance criteria for that degree? Make sure you spell your name right on the application, that will probably get you in.

Of course they'll accept non-majors. Many fields prefer you have a different undergrad major. Statistics is like blood group O: universally accepted.

It depends on the school. Some require that you have a BA in Psych, others don't care as long as you took the Psych subject test of the GRE. I'm in a Psych doctoral program right now and a colleague of mine has a BA in English. She found that it was more difficult because she hadn't learned the basics. However, many major theories will be repeated again and again in each class so you probably wont be that handicapped in that area. I would suggest that you consider taking an intro to Psych class just to get the basics.
5
it depend on the school which is you choose. Just check the school requirements, not all the school asking you the BA degree or experience work. hoping it's helpful :)
6
No, you don't. but it will definitely help you to take extra psych classes now. Otherwise if you do get into a graduate program you'll have to take extra classes to make up for the prerequisites you didn't take.
7
It does really depend on what schools you're applying to. Other factors generally weigh more importantly, I think, especially research experience and letters of rec. You might think about emailing faculty that you're interested in working with with a short query of your own research goals.

Depends on the program. There is a girl in my program now who majored in Performance Arts and worked as a professional opera singer. I would think that if your major was completely unrelated (like ceramics or computers or phys ed), than you might have problems. But since biology has so much to do with psychology, neurology, and psychopharmacology, I don't think that it is a long-shot.

What are the different disciplines of Psychology for those seeking Masters and/or PhDs
What are the different disciplines of Psychology for those seeking Masters and/or PhDs?
I'm a recent graduate and I'm looking to further my education by gaining a higher degree in Psychology. Problem is, I'm not too sure of all the things I can do with a Psychology Masters and/or a Psychology Ph.D., along with the Biology Bachelors I already have. I'd like to find out what I career options I have out there. Thanks in advance for your helpful answers.

It's mainly split between research, education/teaching, and clinical application in a number of areas. You often need a Ph.D. if you want to teach at college level or do research. If you want to use your education and training as a therapist/counselor or other clinician, you may be able to do it with a Masters Degree. The school that I attended, U. of No. Texas, has a number of departments that train people to do a variety of clinical jobs, for example: clinical psychologist (mostly testing) which requires a doctoral degree; school or agency counselor (therapist) which requires a masters degree. I would recommend that you talk to the school counseling department at your university or college to fill you in on the ins and outs of psychology disciplines.

PhD will give you access to a lot more jobs if you are interested in academia. PhD is harder to achieve so you will need to think long and hard before making that commitment. To the person above, it's spelled Freud, not Froid.

What sort of classes do you take for a Masters in Psychology? what about a PhD?
examples would be great! also, is there something called an MLC or something like that? Or is there a way to combine a master's and a PhD program? I am currently a freshman in college majoring in Psychology and I want to end up having a private practice for therapy. P.S. Do you take any math courses in Master's/PhD programs?
