Can one earn a PHD in Psychology with a MA in Guidance Counseling?

Question

Hi all, I got a BA in Psychology and then I followed that to a MA in guidance counseling. Does this qualify me to go up to get a PHD in Counseling Psychology or the MA in guidance counseling is the end of the road?

Answer 1

Research some schools requirements, you should be able to transfer many of those classes in and you may have to take a few additional prereqs but you should be able to go for a PHD.

Answer 2

You don't need a master's degree to get into a PhD program.  You can enter a PhD program with a BA in Psychology.  Obviously, the MA doesn't hurt.  If you did will, it may help you.
