Psychology Degree Programs

Psychology is the study of the human mind. This field of study is a popular choice among students for its versatility in career options as well as its fascinating substance to the study itself.

Earning an online psychology degree can open doors both in the public and private sector. However, almost all of the careers in Psychology will require an advanced degree and field experience in some capacity. Some of the programs you will run into online will require a residency period usually of one week at the campus of your online school. Make sure and determine if the online program you choose requires this of their students and for how long.

Depending on what route you choose there is potential to earn an income anywhere from $37,000-$110,000 a year. Those who earn their degree in Psychology can work in a variety of fields from private counseling to marketing or research for large corporations.

Those who study psychology typically practice or specialize in on one of the following areas:

Clinical Psychology
Applied Social Psychology
Forensic Psychology
Health Psychology
Sports Psychology
Industrial/Organizational Psychology
Counseling Psychology
Teaching and Research Psychology

Some students are misguided about the utility of their degree. Many enter a psychology program with the aspiration to work in a school setting. However for those students who wish to be a school counselor or similar occupation they must receive a Masters in Education with an emphasis in School Counseling, School Psychology or Educational Psychology.
