October 16, 2009, Newsletter Issue #140: Online Psychology Masters Programs

Tip of the Week

Online psychology masters programs are available to students who wish to fulfill degree requirements online. Students may have a number of different reasons for wishing to do this. One of the most common reasons students seek out online masters degree programs in psychology is because they enjoy the flexibility these programs offer to them. Students can often maintain a fulltime job as well as fulfill family and social obligations while pursuing a masters degree online because of the flexibility available to students. Unlike traditional classroom settings where students must take classes during particular days and times, online students can often download course materials or listen to prerecorded lectures at their convenience.

Students who are interested in online psychology masters programs, however, may find there is an increase in flexibility with these programs but a decrease in options available to them. This is because some specialized concentrations may not be available to students online. Students should also be aware they will likely be required do participate in some research and practical work experience while pursing an online masters degree in psychology. Students will not likely be able to meet these requirements online and will therefore have to seek out alternative ways to achieve these degree requirements.
