Yes. Many Ph.D and PsyD programs accept candidates with a bachelors degree. It can take between 3-5 years to earn.
there is no BS in physical therapy anymore. you need a doctorate. unless you mean what kind of BS do you need BEFORE you start PT school. then that would be either a BS in biology/Pre Med or a BS in exercise physiology. hope that helped.

No, having a Bachelor's degree in psychology is not always required to pursue a Master's in psychology. Some programs may accept students with a Bachelor's degree in a related field or with relevant experience. However, having a background in psychology can potentially help in meeting prerequisite courses and understanding the coursework.
The BA and BS are general degree types form which many specific programs of study fall. Both the associate and bachelor's degrees are referred to as undergraduate degrees. The master's and doctorate degrees are referred to as graduate degrees.
The bachelor of arts (BA) and the bachelor in science (BS) are both undergraduate degree programs. The master's and doctorate are graduate degrees. You can take a second bachelor's degree if you like, but you will still be in an undergraduate degree program. So, you would not go to graduate school for the second degree.
You could get a job with only a BS in psychology. There are plenty of jobs working with troubled youth, group homes, residential programs, and DSS/DCF/child welfare. However, these jobs do not always require a degree at all, and you will not make a lot of money. If you are motivated enough to get a BS, I would recommend getting a LCSW, MA LPC or some other Master's Level degree, which will ensure you job security and a good salary (BS in psych = about 30,000k, Masters= greater than or equal to about 50k, depending on what state you work in). My recommendation is to search specific jobs you want in the field, see what the educational requirements are, and pursue that as your goal.
The PhD is the highest degree in the world and there is nothing beyond it. It is attained after achieving a BA or BS, then an MA or MS, and PhD (all in the same field).
It is typically a BS degree. However, if this is being used after a name, it would not be the appropriate thing to do. The abbreviations after a name are typically for the master's and doctorate degrees. In addition, the physical therapy degree (for physical therapists), is no longer a bachelor's degree. The minimum educational requirement today is a master's degree, and may shortly become a doctorate.
