Degrees in psychology are undergraduate Bachelor of Science degrees offered by most colleges and universities that engage the learner in the study of human behavior and provide basic knowledge and sharpen analytical skills of the interested student. If a person has a strong interest in what makes people tick, is unusually insightful into underlying stimuli of human actions and is adept at critical thinking, they may naturally have an aptitude for a career influenced or gained by a degree in psychology. This field of study is widely chosen by entering freshmen in colleges and universities. Many choose the degree if they have a general interest in the study of human behavior and are not exactly sure of which career they may pursue, but know that this course offers general and fundamental knowledge in human studies. A degree in this field, however, is the only undergraduate degree that a student cannot enter the professional field of psychology with the title "Psychologist" unless he or she has completed the graduate and/or postgraduate level. A terminal degree is required in professional careers and the postgraduate level is required in many of the highest qualified fields of the psychological sciences.
Pursuing a bachelors level education with this program can provide general studies that will equip graduates in varied fields such as social work, mental health organizations, management and application in volunteer service organizations, law enforcement, technical writing, reporting, media, and much more. A degree in psychology can qualify an individual for a broad array of jobs and careers because of the broad application of human studies curriculum that is required to graduate with a Bachelor of Science. Degrees in psychology require the general core courses typical of college programs with the major areas of study in learning and analyzing human behavior. Courses exploring areas such as human growth and development, marriage and family, research and testing statistics, abnormal psychology and psychological theories are studied to prepare the student for such a wide field of jobs. In order to step beyond the entrance level jobs that are available to graduates with bachelor's degrees in psychology, it is necessary to purse an M.A. and PhD. in order to qualify for professional careers in exclusively psychological fields such as practicing as a licensed psychologist.
This course of study is not difficult to find throughout the states either online or on-campus. Many aspiring students who pursue the M.S. and PhD. now have the option to pursue degrees in psychology online for an accredited certification that can be approved for a license. These graduate and postgraduate students may continue working in their present jobs while pursuing upper level grad classes. The acceptance requirements are generally the same at most institutions, including competent scores on the GRE, approved GPA, approved transcript and an interview. If someone is interested in the field of psychology at whatever level of achievement, a degree in psychology can be the beginning of a rewarding career that can provide personal satisfaction for those who especially enjoy working with people in areas of human service. "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding." (Proverbs 4:7)
