A bachelor's of art or science in psychology requires 4 years of undergraduate work. A masters of psychology requires 1 to 2 years of graduate studies. A Ph.D or PsyD vary in length but average 3-5 years of graduate work.
A master's degree in psychology typically takes about 2-3 years to complete, but this can vary depending on the program's requirements, your course load, and if you choose to pursue it full-time or part-time. Additionally, some programs may offer accelerated options or allow students to finish at their own pace.
It really depends on what masters program in psychology you are enrolled in. At the masters level you get to specialize in a particular area of psychology and the course curriculum varies between graduate programs. In general, expect to spend at least 2 years on coursework and writing a thesis or completing an internship to receive a masters in psychology.
To obtain a doctorate in psychology (PsyD), which is the best degree with which to practice clinical psychology, you need to acquire a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (4 years) and then go on to graduate school for the PsyD (5-7 years).
It typically takes between two and three years to complete depending on the credit load carried per semester.
4 to 5 years of college plus a doctorate degree in psychology 4 to 7 years of graduate school.
There is no clear cut answer to this. A Masters in any graduate psychology program can run from one to two years of study as a full-time student. It will depend on the exact program of study, its requirements, and the institution you take it at. Then again, will you be attending full-time or part-time? A Masters in psychology can run anywhere from 33 graduate credits up. I know of some programs - like a Masters in School Psychology - that run approximately 72 credits. That's like a doctorate minus the dissertation. Still, if you can find a graduate program in Child Psychology, ask yourself what you plan on doing with it? What is the reason for taking this degree? First decide exactly what it is that you want to do, then we can talk about developing a reasonable road-map leading to that overall goal or objective. When you start taking graduate work, you want to make sure it will be usable. Now, the higher the degree, the more marketable you will be. A Masters will open up more doors for you, however if you plan on working within the area you have taken as your graduate work in, you want to be careful and make sure it leads to the desired end result.
They have had one for over 30 years now :)
It takes approximately eight years post high school completion. In other words, four years of undergraduate coursework, and four years of graduate coursework.
If you are talking about a Masters in Counseling, this could be anything from 1 and a half to about 3 years, depending on wether you are working a full time job at the time. It took me 2 years and a semester, without working full time. You can also be a Marriage and Family Therapist, or be a Certified Addictions Counselor, which takes less time. There is also a Master's in Social Work, which is worth to look into, as well as Clinical Social Work, which might be a specialization within the program. You can find Masters in Counseling that give you a choice of Industrial/Organizational, Addictions or Marriage and Family within the program also.
To become a psychologist, you typically need a doctoral degree in psychology, which is about 5-7 years of postgraduate study. This includes completing a bachelor's degree, a master's degree, and then a doctoral program in psychology.
If you think becoming a child psychologist is the right career path for you, you will need many years of education after high school. You must have a four year bachelors degree. After that you will need to apply for a graduate program; preferably one that is recognized by the American Psychology Association.
