As mentioned, there are many kinds of Psychology too, including; Sports, Abnormal, Biological, Forensic, School, Human Factors, Physiological, Art, Educational Psychology and more. Luckily, students don’t have to choose a discipline until they’ve become familiar with what each kind entails. At the Associate’s, Bachelor’s and even somewhat at the Master’s level in many programs, a cross-section of courses are required and offered. These provide students with an orientation to the kinds of Psychology from which they can choose and the chance to explore the kinds of Psychology they’re interested in before making a commitment to one or two. As students progress to the Master’s and Doctorate’s levels in Psychology and choose the kind they’ll major in, the focus narrows to provide more in-depth study. Only a person with a doctorate in Psychology is called a Psychologist.
