Getting Started with an Online Psychology Degree

To get started in an online degree program, you'll need to consider whether you want to go to a school that is 100% online, or if you are looking for a hybrid program. Hybrid programs are often ideal for graduate psychology degrees. Colleges understand the need for flexible scheduling and dynamic coursework and want to work with you to help you learn and grow in your professional development.

Online Graduate Degree Programs

If you’re ready to further your psychology education with a master’s degree, or even a Doctorate, you'll need to be ready to narrow down your field of interest. Typically, you’ll need to do a research project or thesis, as well as prove your ability to execute database searches, synthesize literature and understand and interpret research methodology.

Accreditation and Licensure

There are dozens of schools that have been creating psychology professionals for years through online programs. How do you choose the right one for you? Start by making sure the school offering your online degree program is licensed and accredited by an appropriate body or association.

For example, the American Psychological Association (APA) is the largest scientific and professional body in its field, but it only accredits programs at the doctoral level, and then only in the fields of clinical, school, and counseling psychology (as well as some internship and postdoctoral programs). Only programs that require some form of face time on campus are accredited by the APA.

Additionally, if you wish to pursue a license to practice psychology, many states require that the doctoral program you attend meet the designating criteria of the joint Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB )/National Register of Health Service Providers in Psychology (NR). Your best bet is to check with the licensing body in the state(s) in which you intend to practice. Read more about psychology accreditation in our guide, The Importance of Accreditation.
