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.
