A Bachelor's degree in psychology provides a basic foundation in the field, but does not adequately prepare an individual for a career as a professional psychologist. While many people use the BA in psychology to prepare them to work in business, sales, or other human resources positions, you need a minimum of a Master's degree to work as a psychologist. Most states require a doctoral degree for licensure to practice psychology independently. Graduate training in psychology leads to either a Master's degree, or a Doctoral degree. At the doctoral level, programs may offer a Ph.D., Psy.D. or Ed.D. degree, depending on the location and focus of the program. Graduate Training programs in psychology may be located in a Graduate School of Psychology, Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Graduate School of Education, Professional School of Psychology, as well as other Graduate training programs. The BA in psychology may also prepare you for graduate training in another mental health profession, such as social work or rehabilitation counseling. Information about these training programs will be listed with the Masters programs in psychology. All graduate education in psychology is within a specialty area, and admission to a graduate program is almost always into a specific speciality. Graduate training in psychology is available in many different areas of specialization, and few, if any, graduate training programs offer training in all areas of psychology. Even the top degree programs in the United States do not offer programs in all specialty areas. Psychology Information Online has established this database of Graduate Training Programs in Psychology, which is sorted by geographic region, degree offered, and areas of specialization. The listings will contain a link to the program or department website, when possible. Graduate Programs in Psychology by Region Information for Graduate Psychology Programs Program information will only be listed for accredited graduate training programs in psychology and related fields. Accreditation from any recognized regional or national organization is acceptable (APA only provides accreditation for applied degree programs, and only for doctoral programs). This directory includes programs providing training in psychology, as well as closely related degree programs, even if the program does not use the word psychology in the program title (e.g. graduate programs in Counseling, or Rehabilitation Counseling). The directory includes both scientific and practice-oriented areas of specialization within psychology. If you represent a training program in psychology or a related field, and you want information about listing your program, please contact: Donald J. Franklin, Ph.D. at djfpsych@blast.net |
