Pearl Said:

Calling all Counselling Psychologists - Please help!!!?

We Answered:

Experience can be gained after you finish your studies. Don't take on more than you can handle or your studies and work will be adversely affected.

Viola Said:

any suggestion of an accredited online university to do a doctorate in metaphysics?

We Answered:

I don't know of any accredited universities offering metaphysics degrees, online or on campus. What exactly did you want to study?

Marc Said:

Should I study Doctorate online as a stay at home mom?

We Answered:

Depends on what you're going to use it for. It sounds like you have a fairly decent degree collection as it is but I'm not familiar with your industry. If it will help you get the specific job you want and you can't get a comparable job without it, then $18,000 isn't a bad investment. If you're doing it for something to do while being a SAHM because you're used to and comfortable with rigorous academics, it's not a good use of money.

What is needed to go into private practice as a psychologist?

We Answered:

I am a psychology student from Louisiana therefore I can not help you with schools in New York (although I had a Professor that received his Ph.D. from Syracuse.) In all 50 states the term PSYCHOLOGIST is protected, therefore to carry that title you need to have a license. Most, if not all, of the states designate the term psychologist for persons that have Ph.D./Psy.D. in a psychological concentration (Counseling, Industrial/Organizational, Clinical, Neuropsychology, or School Psychology). After a person has followed their requirements for licensure, they can go before their state licensing board. If they pass and are allowed to become a psychologist they can go practice in their field, but there are different rules for each state. There are usually a certain amount of hours that a person has to perform under the supervision of a licensed psychologist before they can practice alone. One way (in Louisiana) that a person can be called a psychologist but not be RELICENSED is by working for a higher educational institution, such as a college or university.

To obtain a doctorate you need to apply to a doctoral or masters program in a psychological concentration. To get into a program usually an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 is required (most people in a graduate programs have GPA’s around 3.0-4.0), and a GRE above 1000 (good programs have students whose average are around 1200, but the lowest entrance admission to a good graduate school I’ve seen is 900). If you apply to a masters program, then you will have to find a program in which to complete your doctorate. During the work on your masters you might have to complete a thesis, which is a large research paper on a psychological subject. When you being to work on your doctorate, you will work on a dissertation, which is like a thesis, but it is original work. If you go straight into a doctorate program, you will probably earn a masters degree on the way depending on the program.

William Said:

Guide me for Ph.D. programme in management from USA or UK?

We Answered:

When one aspires for Doctoral studies one has reached a point of maturity to decide on the SPECIFIC Topic/ Topic(s) and able to conceptualize the same and discuss the same with an appropriate Professor on consolidating the same (other than being able to evidence the skill level standard demanded by the respective Universities in UK/USA) ; Usually a PhD demands and secures at least a partial bursary.
