Looking for accredited and not-too-expensive one. Thanks for your help.

All on line colleges and universities are more expensive than going to the physical college. However, these two are accredited, Phoenix on line, and Capella. I know that Phoenix offers on line classes and degree program in Psychology. Good luck and God bless***********************

Is it possible to get into grad school with an online bachelors degree in Psychology?

I'm guessing the answer is no or not likely but I can't seem to find anything on the internet to answer this question.

Yes, but your undergraduate school must be regionally accredited, if

not accredited than all your undergrad courses will not count for

anything. Also your GPA must be at least a 2.9 and you have to do

well on the GMAT Exam.

I've research lots on online universities. Many of them are expensive. But the two quality schools I have found that are not quite as expensive as the rest and are regionally accredited are:

Ashford University
www.ashford.edu
Offers an online bachelors degree in Psychology.

North Central University
www.ncu.edu
Offers bachelors, masters and doctorate degrees in Psychology.

I'm currently a student at Ashford University Online, earning a bachelors in Psychology. I love the online experience because it saves commuting time, and you study at a pace that is comfortable for you without competing with the other students. At the same time, you have the support of your classmates and professors via the internet when you need them. My recommendations are:

Stay disciplined and stick to a schedule, as it is easy to get behind on your studies when other things want to grab your attention.

Get the support of family and friends, because quiet time and consideration will be needed from them when studying.

Take advantage of as many grants/loans and scholarship opportunities as you can.

I wish you the very best!

Would an online degree for Psychology be as accredited and recognized as a normal unieversity degree?

I'm contemplating doing my Junior and Senior year all online. I've gone to some pretty intersting sites but I wondered would those degree's be a respected as the ones I'd get at a university. What would be the pros and cons?

As long as it is from a regionally accredited university but I would suggest against psychology unless you want to become a social worker or help out in that type of field. If you want to become a shrink, get your masters as well.

Pro:

You do your classes as you want to do so.
You are in charge of your work.
You don't have to drive to a campus.

Con:

It's going to cost you out the butt
Psychology is only good for social work.

The only other thing is unless your degree literally states blah blah online university. You don't have to list it on your resume as an online university.

I live in Serbia and I am disabled. I would like to study online for a Psychology Degree – Where can I do this?

I found lots of places online where I can study for a Psychology degree but I haven't been able to find any that are available for my country.

Does anyone know a place where I can study for a Psychology degree that allows my country?

There are a lot fields within the School of Psychology. If you could narrow the topic down it would help to pick a school. Are you into clinical psychology, experimental psychology, or Social psychology?
Here is a place to go for help:

Is there any trusted university that gives an online degree in psychology and therapy diplomas, certificates.?

admin — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 02:45:15 +0000

Is there any trusted university that gives an online degree in psychology and therapy diplomas, certificates, or master degree? I want to obtain a degree in psychology. I will appreciate if someone can help me to find a credible university that provides distance education. Please let me know if you had an experience with such field. I am in a year abroad now, doing my master degree in Egypt so I hope you can help me to find one accepts students who living abroad.I prefer Canadian ones but no problem if others in any country.

There are several. The first thing you should look for are to make certain they are regionally accredited. If they are, they are reputable. As I said, there are several Nova Southeastern, Northcentral University, Liberty University, Union, Walden, Capella, etc.

The next thing you should look for, if you want "more" reputable, is to see if they are CACREP certified (they accredit counseling programs). There is only one CACREP distance learning program that I know of…Capella University (Walden is working on it).

Finally, the APA (American Psychological Association) accredits only one distance learning program (Fielding Graduate University)

Good luck!

20 Secrets to Prepare University and College Students for Landing the Best Graduate Job Or Career

admin — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 01:34:58 +0000

There’s alot more than just studying hard that you can do as a college or university student, that will help when it comes to getting the best job or career after graduation. We take a look at the top 20, from playing a team sport to learning to give a compliment.

1. Get out of the library. “You can have a degree and a huge GPA and not be ready for the workplace. A student should plan that college is four years of experience rather than 120 credits,” says William Coplin, professor at Syracuse University and author of the book, “10 Things Employers Want You to Learn in College.”

2. Start a business in your dorm room. It’s cheap, Google and Yahoo are dying to buy your website, and it’s better than washing dishes in the cafeteria. Note to those who play poker online until 4 a.m.: Gambling isn’t a business. It’s an addiction.

3. Don’t take on debt that is too limiting. This is not a reference to online gambling, although it could be. This is about choosing a state school over a pricey private school. Almost everyone agrees you can get a great education at an inexpensive school. So in many cases the debt from a private school is more career-limiting than the lack of brand name on your diploma.

4. Get involved on campus. When it comes to career success, emotional intelligenceâsocial skills to read and lead othersâget you farther than knowledge or job competence, according to Tiziana Casciaro, professor at Harvard Business School. Julie Albert, a junior at Brandeis University, is the director of her a capella group and head of orientation this year. She hones her leadership skills outside the classroom, which is exactly where to do it.

5. Avoid grad school in the liberal arts. One in five English Phd’s find stable university jobs, and the degree won’t help outside the university: “Schooling only gives you the capacity to stand behind a cash register,” says Thomas Benton, a columnist at the Chronicle of Higher Education (who has an English degree from Yale and a tenure-track teaching job.)

6. Skip the law-school track. Lawyers are the most depressed of all professionals. Stress itself does not make a job bad, says Alan Kreuger, economist at Princeton University. Not having control over one’s work does make a bad job, though, and lawyers are always acting on behalf of someone else. Suicide is among the leading causes of premature death among lawyers.

7. Play a sport. People who play sports earn more money than couch potatoes, and women executives who played sports attribute much of their career success to their athletic experience, says Jennifer Cripsen of Sweet Briar College in Virginia. You don’t need to be great at sports, you just need to be part of a team.Continued…

8. Separate your expectations from those of your parents. “Otherwise you wake up and realize you’re not living your own life,” says Alexandra Robbins, author of the popular new book “The Overachievers.” (Note to parents: If you cringe as you read this list, then you need to read this book.)

9. Try new things that you’re not good at. “Ditch the superstar mentality that if you don’t reach the top, president, A+, editor in chief, then the efforts were worthless. It’s important to learn to enjoy things without getting recognition,” says Robbins.

10. Define success for yourself. “Society defines success very narrowly. Rather than defining success as financial gain or accolades, define it in terms of individual interests and personal happiness,” says Robbins.

11. Make your job search a priority. Jobs do not fall in your lap, you have to chase them. Especially a good one. It’s a job to look for a job. Use spreadsheets to track your progress. And plan early. Goldman Sachs, for example, starts its information sessions in September.

12. Take a course in happiness. Happiness study is revolutionizing how we think of psychology, economics, and sociology. How to be happy is a science that 150 schools teach. Preview: Learn to be more optimistic. This class will show you how.

13. Take an acting course. The best actors are actually being their most authentic selves, says Lindy Amos of communications coaching firm TAI Resources. Amos teaches executives to communicate authentically so that people will listen and feel connected. You need to learn to do this, too, and you may as well start in college.

14. Learn to give a compliment. The best compliments are specific, so “good job” is not good, writes Lisa Laskow Lahey, psychologist at Harvard and co-author of “How the Way We Talk Can Change the Way We Work.” Practice on your professors. If you give a good compliment the recipient will think you’re smarter: Big payoff in college, but bigger payoff in the work world.

15. Use the career center. These people are experts at positioning you in the workforce and their only job is to get you a job. How can you not love this place? If you find yourself thinking the people at your college’s career center are idiots, it’s probably a sign that you really, really don’t know what you’re doing.
16. Develop a strong sense of self by dissing colleges that reject you. Happy people have “a more durable sense of self and aren’t as buffeted by outside events,” writes Sonja Lyubomirsky of the University of California-Riverside. When bad things happen, don’t take it personally. This is how the most successful business people bounce back quickly from setback.

17. Apply to Harvard as a transfer student. Sure people have wild success after going to an Ivy League school but this success is no more grand than that of the people who applied and got rejected. All people who apply to Ivy League schools seem to have similar high self-confidence and ambition, even if they don’t get in, according to a study by Kreuger.

18. Get rid of your perfectionist streak. It is rewarded in college, but it leads to insane job stress and an inability to feel satisfied with your work. And for all of you still stuck on number 6, about ditching the law school applications: The Utah Bar Journal says that lawyers are disproportionately perfectionists.

19. Work your way though college. Getting involved in student organizations counts, and so does feeding children in Sierra Leone or sweeping floors in the chemistry building. Each experience you have can grow into something bigger. Albert was an orientation leader last year, and she turned that experience into a full-time summer job that morphed into a position managing 130 orientation leaders. A great bullet on the resume for a junior in college.

20. Make to do lists. You can’t achieve dreams if you don’t have a plan to get there.
