I understand you are looking for an opportunity to study, but I must warn you that even if you do find an accredited online Ph.D. program (which I doubt you will), it will not be held in any esteem in academia, or in the working world.\n\nPh.D. study involves close and personal mentoring, hands-on research (oftentimes in a lab, or in the case of psychology, clinical experience), and sustained intellectual community.  No online program can offer these things, and therefore accredited programs do not even attempt to provide Ph.D. level study online.\n\nI urge you to look for a respected and accredited Ph.D. program.  These programs will indeed demand residency, and although this may be inconvenient or even prohibitive for you, it really is the only way.

You seriously want the entire history of psychology in one posting?\nMy suggestion to you, if you are truly interested in knowing and are not just posting this to see if I will actually answer it (cause I could), is to take a History of Psychology course at any accredited University. It's a required class for all Psychology Degree's and quite interesting. If you don't want to pay for the tuition, then simply "sit in" on class lectures and buy the book. You wont get credits for it, but you will gain the knowledge you seek. ;->\n\nyou can also go here for an introduction.\nhttp://allpsych.com/timeline.html \nAll Psych On-line website\nthe History of Psychology (387 BC to Present)

Be cautious with online schools. Most "online" schools don't have good reps. Consider your options carefully. \n\nThere are reputable, "brick and mortar" schools that also offer degrees online. Their good reputation for their on-campus programs will flow over into their online program. I strongly recommend that you look at some of those. \n\nSome great universities that offer online degrees include:\n\nUniversity of Massachusetts at Amherst\nRensselaer Polytechnic Institute\nUniversity of Denver\nUniversity of Maryland\nDuke University\nDrexel\nCarnegie Mellon\nPenn State\nBall State\nU Nebraska - Lincoln\nBabson\nWorcester Polytechnic Institute\nUniversity of Illinois\n\nAnd there are others. But in general, when you're looking for a distance learning degree, try to find a program at a school that has a good reputation for their "brick and mortar" campus. \n\nGood luck.

I have my B.A. in psychology and am in finishing my first year of grad school in Marriage & Family Psychology.  If you want to be a child psychologist, you'll have to attend graduate school first. My experience is sort of similar in that I had planned to get a degree in clinical psych but decided to change to marriage and family. I have intended to be a therapist all along and this program is focused on teaching those skills--for individuals of all ages as well as couples and families.  A clinical psychologist friend of mine in private practice says I am getting better training than he did to do psychotherapy. in order to decide, you have to clarify to yourself what it is exactly that you want to do when you graduate. both degrees will give you a lot on child development, but the psych degree will involve more psychopathology, diagnosis, and treatment. psychologists can also do testing (achievement, intelligence, personality, depression, anxiety, etc.) while educators technically cannot.  hope this is relevant.

Athabasca University in Alberta, Canada specializes in distance education and offers full degree programs on-line.  I've attached the website.

The best one that I know of is Athabasca University in Alberta, Canada.  It has been offering programs by distance for over 30 years, so it is well recognized and well established.  Here is their site.

Are you Aussie, or UK? You'll find few people outside of your country who knows what nvq3 means. It sounds like a tertiary school - if there is such a thing. No matter what, you should major in psych - the toughest degree by far - and load up on education courses in addition to everything else you have to do. Then there's graduate school which is another 4-6 years. But give it some time. Since you're apparently just beggining your studies, you'll likely change your mind. Professional psychology in any specialty is 99% research.

In general, I always recommend that people look at online degree programs from schools that have a strong reputation offline - their brick-and-mortar college has a good rep, so thus their distance learning program is often also respected. So, rather than U Phoenix, I'd also suggest that you check first with your local colleges, especially your state colleges. If you can go online to a state college as an instate student, you get the instate tuition rate - which is often a HUGE discount. If nothing in state appeals to you, then check for reputable colleges that also offer online/distance learning programs. \n\nSome reputable colleges that offer distance degrees, off the top of my head:\n\nRensellaer Polytechnic Institute\nUniversity of Massachusetts, Amherst\nUniversity of Maryland\nWorcester Polytechnic Institute\nThe New School for Social Research\nCarnegie Mellon\nUniversity of Denver

There are many who offer either PhDs or a "professional degree" Pd (which is similar to a PhD but usually does not involve a thesis). You want to look for a regionally-acreditted school although some "national acredditors" like DTEC are getting some recognition now. Without some accreditor, you are likely getting a "diploma mill" diploma which is not a good thing! The best Web site for searching for DL (distance learning) programs is http://www.degreeinfo.com.\n\nYou'll find there are many programs and what is right for you might not be right for everyone depending on your goals, budget, and field of study. The Web site has a searchable database and a forum that will provide a lot of information.\n\nGood luck! (And yes, I'm going down this path too at Columbia).

Its not as hard as you may think! A BS in Psych. is a great degree to have. Yes, although general, its essential in understanding the human psyche. Doctors and nurses, social service workers, all are required to have classes in psychology. So, to answer your question, the decision is based on what field she's interested in, i.e. law enforcement, litigation, maybe a private investigator or forensics. All of these have different paths. There are many online accredited colleges that offer degrees to help her get there, and there are counselors to help guide her. Also, with your situation, she will most likely qualify for financial aid. There are also grants and scholarships she should look into, provided she's a "C+" student or better. People have a tendency to make excuses for themselves when they're not going where they want to. I'm a mother of two small children, married twice, and I am now a med. student at UNC, with a BS in Psychology. You can accomplish anything you set your mind to!

In the US, the only jobs in psychology require either a Master's degree or Doctorate.\n\nA master's degree will let you be a Social Worker, which is very hard work for low pay.\n\nA Ph.D. will let you be a Psychologist.  Big money, if you're good.  \n\nA bachelor's degree in Psych is like underwater basket-weaving.  Don't even bother if you're not pursuing an advanced degree.

If you plan on practicing as a licensed Psychologist or work in academia in the U.S., be sure that your Ph.D. or Psy.D. program is accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA).  If you are interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in Psychology via a distance program, check out Fielding Graduate University in Santa Barbara, CA at http://www.fielding.edu/  Fielding is the only distance education institution to have an APA accredited Ph.D. program in Psychology.  Their program, like all of their doctoral programs are difficult and despite where you go, be prepared to spend 3 to 7 years studying fulltime!  Good luck!

Find out if the online school is accredited.  This means that their diploma is equivalent to the standards and practices of real time universities.\n\nMany universities offer online courses, I think the University of Pheonix offers degrees online, but I could be mistaken\n\nGood luck!
