594605
Since all Universities in the world had different ways of teaching its student, there isn't actually the "best." It's just depend on your opinion. My opinion is that in the US, the best one is either Harvard University or John Hopkins University. In UK, I think its Cambridge University and Oxford University. All of the schools that I mentioned offers international students some form of financial aid. Contact them for more info.

You can do it with a bachelor's degree, but you probably won't get far.  Most psychologists have a master's degree, and a few have a PhD.\n\nIf you search "Best Colleges", you will find sites that give information about each school.

I don't know what country you're in, but in america you pick your profession in college and pursue streams there too :)\n\nBut I'll assume you mean, what courses should you take to broaden your understanding later on in college psych.\n\nwell these will help A Lot!\n-biology (they say biology before psychology.. and you will need it, trust me)\n-philosophy (really makes you question things, which will help when you need to do independent research)\n-math/stats (you're going to have to take it in college for psychology, so take general stat couses now, so that psych stat will be a breeze)\n-social studies/history/anthropology courses (really help in the long run, once you are a psychologist, gives you a deeper understanding of you patients)\n-language courses (more clients if you can speak other languages fluently)

There's too many to list.\nHere is the American Psychological Association's Division list.  That should give you a good idea of the different fields.

I don't know what part of Missouri you live in, but if you're in the western part, William Jewell College might be a good one to look at, and if you're in the eastern half, try Lindenwood University.\n\nMissouri State University (you probably know it by it's former name...SMS) also has a decent Psychology program.\n\nThe University of Missouri at Columbia, along with it's University Health System, has a GREAT psychology program, but I'm pretty sure you're already aware of that.\n\nGood luck!

You might get a large response to your question and you may find that there are a lot of contradictions between the answers.  So as not to confuse, I have found a site that I'm sure will give you the definitive answer that you are looking for. \n\nhttp://www.sparknotes.com/psychology\n\nOnce there navigate around and use the search facility to find what you need. Highly recommended. Good Luck.\n\nKevin, Liverpool, UK.

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.

If you are talking about American universities, there are no minimum requirements to study psychology, other than the general requirements for admission.  Most universities and colleges expect you to take a strong academic program, with courses in the sciences, math, social sciences and foreign language.  \n\nAdmission to top universities is highly competitve, with most successful applicants having grades that place them in the top portion of the graduating class, along with excellent scores on the SAT or ACT tests.  But you need to contact the admissions offices of each university for specific information about their admissions criteria.\n\nGood luck!!

I'm afraid I don't have any information on Canadian Universities, but University of Kansas has a Master's program that is excellent.  I believe it's a master's in special education with a primary focus in autism.  Anyone who gets in quailifies for funding as well.

Online PhDs? Unless it's in computer science from Carnegie Mellon, I wouldn't bother. But online Master's? There are some from some reputable universities (U Phoenix NOT being one of them), most usually in business or computers. So, what do you hope to major in?\n\nSome examples of reputable schools that offer some Master's degrees online include:\n\nNYU\nUMass Amherst\nRensselaer Polytechnic Institute\nCarnegie Mellon\nDuke University\nUniversity of Indiana\nUniversity of Maryland\nThe New School for Social Research

The Psychology Program at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, is the only one I know of.  I wouldn't recommend it, unless most of the old-fogey faculty from the 80s has died off or retired.  It is a public university, but you might want to check it out anyway.  For all I know, there might be a whole new batch of really enlightened faculty by now.

I am ready to start my graduate studies in psychology and while  finishing my bachelors degree was fortunate enough to work for Valley Mental Health in S.L.C. Utah. If clinical is what you desire you will be needing biological, psychopharmacological, statistical,experimental psychology and the list goes on. You will be busy but you will also be the smartest girl in the group (lots and lots of useful info). Need class guidance (tja_j@yahoo.com) good luck!!

Check out Chester University. That's where I went. It's very pretty and middle class.\nRemember in UK you do not need a university education to teach at nursery level you only need a vocational course. Unless you want to study education for pre-school children in which case I could suggest a degree in developmental psychology instead.\nIf you have a vocational qualification in pre-school education from another country it should count in your favour to get work in this field in Britain.

I dont know what is the best school for psychology, but I can tell you the difference between undergrad and grad school.\n\nIn undergrad you earn your bachelor's degree (a BA or BS).  After you have your BA/BS you apply for grad school and there you can earn a Masters or a PhD.  If you plan to counsel you will need to get at least a Masters, but most likely a PhD.  This will entitle you to call yourself Doctor, and will require at least 6-7 years of school.  \n\nIf you want to be a Psychiatrist, you will need to get your BA or BS, then go to medical school and get your MD, and then spend time in a psychiatric residency.  \n\nThe difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist, is the amount of time spent with patients and the ability to prescribe medications.  A psychiatrist can prescribe medications and the average appointment time is about 7 minutes (I know a psychiatrist and he actually did a study of this).  A psychologist cannot prescribe medications, but spends much more time with their patients.  They are the ones who really counsel patients.
