A bachelor's degree in psychology is a BA, not a BS. There are graduate programs as well like the Masters degree. Doctorate degrees are divided into two: PhD and PsyD. The difference is that with a Ph.D a person can work in clinical work as well as academia. However with a PsyD the only work available is in the clinical field. The reason is that PhD students are involved in research, unlike the PsyD students.You can have a BS in psychology. It's a Bachelor's of Science. In order to have a BS in psychology your major would be Psychology but you would have to minor in a math or science. I would have to say a BS is better.

What classes do you have to take to be psychiatrist?

You have to go to Medical School to be a Psychiatrist. A real Medical School not one of those ones they advertise for on television.

You could be a Psychologist with just a BA but most places doing the hiring want a Psychologist who has a Masters degree. Bottom line, both are going to require a lot more time, energy, and money than you have realized.

What are the proper education steps to become a child and adolescene psychologist do you get BA MA Ph.D or is it BS MS Ph.D and is there any specific degrees for ex. master in developmental psy?

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.
