I have an BA in Psychology I need help with a grad school decision?

Question

I am not sure yet what I want to do in psychology but I have been in undergad for 6 years and now I am going to grad school. What master degrees in psychology can i get in one or a year and a half. And what school has the program it does not matter if it is online.

Answer 1

That would depend on what field of psychology you want to earn. Consider the studies of abnormal, analytical, animal, applied, dynamic, experimental, gestalt or individual studies to place a foundation for your future career. Each one varies in educational time. As for schools, guess you can use a little of you psychologics gained to research the schools for the above studies.

Answer 2

My frank opinion - if you going for a Master Degree for such a short time; buy one - it's faster. But if you want a degree that provides you with knowledge and experience where yopur client and colleagues will look up upon you, then go for a Master in Social Work.

You will have more options and clients to choose and work with, that you prefer. I am not sure where you are located, but choose a recognised degree recomended by Associations such as NASW, that falls under IFSW

Answer 4

I hate to say it but it depends. What is your career goal? That really determines your type of MA in Psych. for instance if you want to become a school counselor then you'll need an MA with that training. If you are looking to work more as a psychotherapist it's a little bit different as well. Your career goal will ultimately determine your degree choice as well as school.

Answer 6

Personally I think you would do better with an MSW and then get your LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Work), but the University of Hartford in Hartford Connecticut has a terminal Master Degree in Psychology, I believe, as does Central Connecticut State University, I think.
