You list accomplishments from least to highest, unless they are in the same field. For multiple degrees in the same field, the terminal degree is the only one listed. For example: A) Joe Smith obtained her BA in Psychology, than an MS in Psychology, followed by a PhD in Psychology. His entry would be: Joe Smith, PhD B) Jane Smith obtained a BA in Psychology, an MBA in Business and an MS in Psychology, and a PhD in Psychology. Her listing would be: Jane Smith, MBA, PhD Some rules about least to highest: an academic degree (e.g. MS or MA, PhD) is higher than a practical degree (e.g. MBA is listed before MS). Finally, (I believe this is correct), any licenses held are at the end (A registered nurse who maintains a license to practice and holds a PhD would list PhD, RN). I'm not sure how this works with an MD, which is technically a practical degree but is also a license to practice...perhaps that's why it's so common to see it both ways. The previous entry stated: It is generally accepted that one lists accomplishments from least to highest. Thus BA, BS, MA, PhD.
In order to be licensed to work as a clinical psychologist, you would do well to have a PhD. A psychology degree is a BA. You would follow this by earning an MA and the go on to do research and earn a PhD. This is where you would narrow your area to work in industry, with children, with couples, with inmates, etc. While each state determines the requirements for licensing of psychologists, it is generally accepted that those involved in counseling have earned a PhD.
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).
You can get B.A. or B.S., it depends on the university/college you attend, and on the amount of science/art classes you take. I believe that once you want to get a job the difference isn't very significant. So, if you look into the programs you want to attend you can just choose between getting B.A. M.A. PhD and B.S. M.S. PhD. A Psy.D is for Clinical Psychology, but you mentioned Developmental Psychology so you should go for a PhD. You can get specific degrees, as in a Bachelor of Art/Science in Developmental Psychology, or in Child Psychology, Adolescent Psychology or in Child and Adolescent Psychology. So you get to choose. On the other hand, most institutions offer general psychology so you just get a B.A./B.S. in Psychology. And you can also choose with masters and doctorates. It doesn't really matter which Bachelor you get as long as it is psychology, alternatively your master and doctorate should be about the specific branch you choose. Oh, and yes, there are specific degrees. In all of them, Bachelor, Master and Doctorate.
Depends on the degree. A BS/BA, MA/MS have no title, but a PhD has a title of Dr.
If you all ready have your MS/MA the degree will take you 4-7 years. Universities normally give a PhD candidate up to 7 years to finish the degree. The last year or two is writing the dissertation/research. If you begin the degree without the MA/MS in middle of the program you will earn your degree and then go on to the PhD phase. This could add time to the process. I suggest you do the MA/MS first, take a break, and then do the PhD. To finish a PhD takes a great deal of focus and work. It is not an easy process and is not fun. That is why only 1% finish the degree. I finished my PhD in 3.5 years, but I lived it day and night and did nothing but write entire weekends, every night, and carried my dissertation with me in a binder to edit. The stress was constant and I was also working full time as I did the degree.
Academic degrees are always capitalized.Examples: Master's degrees: LLM, MA, MBA, MMath, etc. Specialist degrees: EdS Doctorate degrees: PhD, DLitt, DA, etc.
To become a psychologist after earning an MA in Mental Health Counseling, you typically need to pursue a doctoral degree in psychology (PhD or PsyD). This involves completing advanced coursework, conducting research, and gaining supervised clinical experience. After obtaining your doctorate, you must pass licensing exams and meet state requirements to practice as a licensed psychologist. Additionally, gaining experience through internships or post-doctoral fellowships can further enhance your qualifications.
