March 6, 2009, Newsletter Issue #108: Schools to Attend for a Bachelor Degree in Psychology

Tip of the Week

Students wishing to obtain a bachelor degree in psychology have a wide variety of options available to them. They may wish to pursue their degree in a typical college setting, through online courses or through evening courses. Regardless of the type of program the student wishes to pursue, the student should ensure the school he selects meets certain guidelines. Most importantly the school should be accredited. This is very important because failure to receive a degree from an accredited university can be detrimental if the student wishes to obtain a graduate school degree as well because most graduate schools will require students to obtain their undergraduate degrees from an accredited university. Not attending an accredited university can also have an adverse effect on career aspirations as potential employers may be less willing to hire a candidate who obtained his degree from a school which is not accredited.

Students should also seek out schools with a solid reputation in the field of psychology when seeking to obtain a bachelor degree in psychology. This is very important because although a degree can be obtained from any college offering psychology as a major, the quality of education is likely to be superior from institutions renowned in the field of psychology. Additionally, psychology schools with a strong reputation are also likely to be well known by potential employers. Therefore a degree from these institutions can be very beneficial after a student graduates and begins searching for a job.
