It is no longer than any other degree. The Bachelor's degree would take approximately four years to complete as a full-time student for most any major. If you are taking a psychology major, and feel it is so long and drawn out, then you might not be in the right major. When you choose a career path it should be out of a passion for what you want to do, with recognition of the benefit it will bring to others as well as yourself. If you have that passion, it will not appear to be long and drawn out, but a method for achieving your overall career goals and objectives.

Have a batchelours degree how long to further education to get a psycology degree?
I'm not really sure what you are asking... There are various levels of a "psychology degree": # you can have a Bachelor's Degree (4-year college) # you can have a Master's Degree (Bachelor's plus 2 years) # you can have a Doctorate Degree (Bachelor's plus 5-7 years) If you have a bachelors degree (4-year degree), you most likely have a major (or area that you studied to get that degree)... so the question is, did you major in psychology? if so, then you already have a psychology degree. It is just a bachelor degree, so you will not likely be able to do much with it. If you are asking how long it takes to be a psychologist, then you are most likely referring to the doctorate degree mentioned above... that will take and additional 5-7 years to get after your bachelor's degree.

Does it have to be the same course in master's degree from the bachelor's degree?
It is not so much a question of better or not. It is a question of what your career goals and objectives are. For example, if you have a Bachelors degree in education and plan on staying in education, it would be appropriate to secure your Masters in the same or related field. If you have a Bachelors degree in education and now plan to seek employment in corporate management, then obviously a Masters in Organizational Management might be more appropriate. I all depends on what satisfies your goals and objectives. Viper1
What are the classes that you have to take to get your associate's degree in psychologhy?
There are some community colleges that offer an associate degree in psychology. However, if you are going to take this degree, you must do so with the intention of going on for your bachelor's degree in psychology. While any degree will be beneficial, you will not be able to do much with an associate in psychology, especially within the field of psychology. Thus, make sure the associate degree in psychology is a transfer program to a four year college or university. That being said, the associate degree in this type of program is designed to complete the first two years of a four year program (major). Therefore the class will include many general education courses such as English, possibly a lower level math, history, lab sciences, social sciences (general psychology), other humanities etc. Other psychology courses would include, theories of personality, child or developmental psychology, adolescent psychology, etc. I would urge you not to take too many psychology courses at this level, and definitely not courses that might be junior or senior level courses at the four year institution such as abnormal psychology, psychological statistic, experimental psychology (if they offer it). If you take a course at the associate level that is a junior or senior level course at a four year institution, it will not be accepted. All in all, the community college is a great place to start.
