September 25, 2009, Newsletter Issue #137: Types of Online Psychology Degrees

Tip of the Week

There are a variety of online psychology degrees available to students who are seeking a degree in this diverse and challenging field. Students may wish to obtain their undergraduate or bachelors degree in psychology online or they may wish to pursue graduate level degrees such as a masters or a PhD online.

There are many options available for students seeking online psychology degrees at an undergraduate level. While many of these programs are valid and will help the student to reach his goals, care should be taken to select accredited programs which offer courses of interest to the student. Online psychology degrees can also be obtained at both the masters and the doctoral level. However, there are typically few online options available for these more advanced degrees. For this reason students should be particularly discriminating when selecting a university to ensure the chosen school offers everything the student is seeking in a degree program. Masters and doctoral degree programs typically require the student to select a specific course concentration such as adolescent psychology or substance abuse counseling. As with traditional schools, not all online programs will offer all of the available programs. Student with a particular interest in mind should seek out schools which offer a variety of courses as well as a specialized degree program in this particular field.

Related Tip: Online psychology degrees open up a wide range of options to students. Students who wish to maintain a fulltime job while pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in psychology may find online courses help them to achieve their dreams. The flexibility which is offered through online programs makes it possible for students to attend classes around even the busiest schedules. While online psychology degrees are becoming increasingly popular, students entering these programs should choose programs offered by accredited schools if they intend to pursue a career or higher level degree in psychology.
