You can get a graduate degree, doctoral and Master’s, in Psychology through a regular graduate school or university or through a college online.
Before application you need to do exhaustive homework about schools, their reputation, curriculum, teaching approach, financial aid, as well as career options after course completion. “Graduate Psychology Study,” a yearly publication of APA, is an abundance of information on courses, schools, and career prospects in the subject in America. Each respectable school contributes to the book.
In order to enroll for a grad program you need to get a bachelor’s degree plus a high GPA from any accredited college. Also, you need to obtain an excellent GRE score plus prescribed number of recommendation letters from the undergraduate instructors. Any work/research experience in psychology is an added benefit.
Most schools need applicants to create a SoP to justifying their candidature and career aspirations, why they would like to study from this school and why they chose a certain program.
Although a bachelor’s degree in psychology is helpful, it is not obligatory. If you can demonstrate your ability and interest to succeed in a particular area, admission will not be very hard. You can require the undergraduate professors to avouch for your ability to do justice to a certain course in the customary recommendation letters. Before you apply, you can try choosing short-term certificate courses to prove your concern.
Graduate schools are very choosy in filtering their applications, as psychology is a niche field. The admission rate is about 5% in certain leading schools. You need to apply to four or five schools of first choice, plus another four or five schools of second choice. Also, you should finalize financing sources before admissions.
