Does the Master has to be similar to the Bachelor ?
Hey, I am an Austrian student, studying in Milan and doing the Bachelor in "International economics and management" and I am finishing this summer. Directly afterwards I would like to do the Master in psychology!!! Do you know if it is it possible ? I already looked at some possible Universities but they all state, that I need at least a basic bachelor in psychology to do the Master in it. Would be really nice, if you could help me. Do you know any good Universities where it is possible to do it ? Is there any rule? Thank you very much in advance, m_riccabona

In the US, no, that wouldn't be possible. There are some masters programs you can enter with any major, but the sciences and engineering are not among them. To get a masters in psychology, you'd need significant coursework in psychology - they're not starting over at the beginning and those programs are very competitive to enter.

Sometimes schools will let you start graduate school in a subject that you did not take as an undergraduate if you first enter as a temporary non-degree graduate student and take all the necessary undergraduate pre-requisites. These courses will not count towards your graduate degree, but they will make you qualified to enter the graduate degree program. You will have to ask the universities if they would accept you under these conditions.

Where to find a psychology master/phd student to hire
Where to find a psychology master/phd student to hire?
I work for a company and we tried to hire a masters or phd student in psychology to design a serious of test that would meet the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing set by the APA. The local University (Las Vegas, NV) does would not allow us to mass e-mail their students, nor would they provide us with contact information. The work is to be done at home, and the pay is very reasonable (looking at making 1000+ dollars in a couple of weeks, with the ability to make more). I just don't know where to go to find psychology students.

Try placing an ad in the APA Monitor http://www.apa.org/monitor/ Edit -- This is even more on point. Advertise online and search others resumes & CV's: http://jobs.psyccareers.com/search.cfm
2
um call schools that have psychology at the school.

I was a grad student in psychology, and our graduate coordinator and one of our professors always emails us job openings. Maybe someone in the graduate department would be willing to email some students for you with a link to the opening?

You can post an ad at socialservice.com or the APA site? Check out studentdoctorforum.net (I think or google up student doctoral forum network), and go to the psychology section of the forum. You can post your ad there.

Masters in psychology or behavioral economics
Masters in psychology or behavioral economics?
I want to get a Master's in either psychology or behavioral economics (not a phD). Ideally, I want to start next fall. I have top scores and graduated from an ivy league school, but have no experience in psychology. What are the top programs I could look into?

you would have to be super smart at thinking outside the box... like me

You cant really get jobs with just a masters in psychology, you really need a phd unless you plan to work in a school one day (thats what I am doing myself right now as a educational specialist in psychology). I dont know much about the beh. economics- so cant speak to that, but that could be an issue as far as jobs and also pay.

Does it matter if I have only a Master degree in Counseling Psychology but not a Bachelor in Psychology also
Does it matter if I have only a Master degree in Counseling Psychology but not a Bachelor in Psychology also?
Let's say I graduate with Bachelor in Physics and decide to shift to Counseling Psychology and earn a Master degree in Counseling Psychology. Does it make any difference from the fact if I were to also have the Bachelor in Psychology? I mean do employers make any difference? Am I less prepared than a full rate graduate in my specific domain (ex. Counseling)? Is there any extra stuff I should do? Thanks for any help.

It don't matter to me in the least but you'd be lots better off with a degree in physics.

You can actually enter a Masters program in Psychology even though you did not have an AB/BS Psychology degree. However, you would have to make it up by taking the following courses: general psychology, fundamental statistics, and an introduction to psychological research course. If you are entering Counseling Psychology at the graduate level, you will be taking up advanced personality theories, appraisal techniques, abnormal psychology, and therapy/counseling courses. At the undergraduate level, you will be introduced to personality theories and psychological testing/assessment. Also, you get to sample different areas of psychology. Thus, being an "insider" can help. When it comes to employment, however, it's your actual skill and having good references that ultimately matters. As an "outsider", you have to do additional reading and find a good place to practice.
