Hey?  Have you completed your undergrad degree? What is it in? Do you have career goals that really call for an advanced degree?  Doctors need to do it.  An MBA?  If you get it from Harvard it can open doors.  \n\nWhy go to college at all?  It all depends upon your future plans.  If the advanced LEARNING will serve you, then, of course, you should do it.  On the other hand, are you just after a degree?  \n\nIt seems to me that if you are truly a student and the information that you'll learn from a post BA degree will be helpful, it's a no brainer.  Some folks have degrees from the School of Hard Knocks and are millionaires!  I'd guess that there are PhDs who can't balance a check book, too.\n\nIf you love learning.  Go to school. If you long for money, then go to work!\n\nMake sense?

There isn't such a thing.  I would suggest you find out what the correct name of the degree you are looking to attain and go from there.

Obviously a Masters degree helps in long run.\nBeside value addition, it also boosts up your confidence.\nAlso, you get a good package if you do your masters from a really good institute.

A Bachelor's degree is usually a four to five year course of study with very few options and little room for original work. \n\nA Master's has much more flexiblity and requires more original thinking and some amount of research. The time required to complete a Master's varies with the school and the program. \n\nI went through summer sessions and finished my Bachelor's in Biological Science at Baylor in 2 1/2 years, my Master's in Applied Nuclear Science at Georgia Tech in a year and one summer semester. But that was after Viet Nam and things were easy for me then.

BA- Batchelor of Arts - 3/4 year basic degree in a Humanities/Arts subject.\n\nBA(Hons) - as above 'with honours' - a slightly higher standard, usually required to get into training for teaching, the law and so forth.\n\nBSc & BSc (hons) as above but with science.\n\nHND - Higher National Diploma (step below a degree)\n\nMA, MSc, MPhil, MBA - Master of Arts, master of Science, master of Phil, Master of Business Admin. Basic postgrad degrees (taking 1-2 years above the base time)\n\n...plus various doctorates from medical to philosophical, nursinf degrees, postgrad and undergrad teaching degrees ... the list is endless...\n\nMost people start with a BA (Hons) or a BSc (Hons) as their first degree, then decide on whether the go on to a Masters or Doctorate research study later.

You need four years of an undergraduate degree. A Masters degree can take one or two years if you go to school full time.

That depends on the state and college.  My college offers master's programs in Psychology and Business.  My undergrad degree is a BA in Romance Languages (Emphasis in Spanish) and I could enter either of those master's programs.  I chose the MBA.  However, I had to start with 4 "leveling courses" which are basic undergrad level business courses that are designed to get me up to a level to be ready for the graduate courses.\n\nAsk at some of your area universities and see what programs they have available.  You do not necessarily have an undergrad degree in the same field.\n\nSue

You need an undergraduate degree in biology or exercise science. My undergrad school preferred an Excercise Science major which consisted of tons of kinesiology (spelling?), chemistry, biology, etc. Then in a grad program its more advanced. So 4 years undergrad and at least 2 more in grad school.

Depends on what you want to do after grad school. Research some job postings and the kind of jobs described. You will also find the kind of degrees that they ask for (i.e. under "Requirements" or "Qualifications" of a job description).\n\nGood luck!

Experience is very important. If those are your only two choices, then I would go with the Bachelor's and experience. Another option, however, would be to get experience while you are obtaining your Master's degree. You might not be making as much money or you might have to work part time in order to continue your education, but in the end you will have the best of both worlds: you graduate degree AND experience.

AS degree must be an Associates Degree which generally takes two years to complete.\nBA is a Bachelor of Arts Degree and would generally take four years to complete.  A BS Degree is a Bachelor of Science degree which is the same as a BA except you take different courses such as two years of a foreign language instead of a statistics class.\n\nA Masters degree is obtained once you receive a BA or BS in a subject such as English, Political Science, Biology, Social Science, Psychology, etc.  A Masters Degree generally takes two years to complete, during which you do research on a topic of interest to you for presentation.\n\nPhD. requires another two plus years and involves writing a doctoral dissertation and presenting it to the university for review and certification.  I am sure there are many more requirements that I am unaware of as I only recently received my BS in Social Science myself.

The school where you get your undergrad degree isn't nearly as important as where you get your graduate degree.  A bachelor's degree in psychology really doesn't help get you great jobs, so going to the "best" program isn't particularly important at that point.  Beside, rankings of psych programs almost always refer to the strength of the graduate studies, not undergrad.   Also, it is rare for graduate programs to take undergrads from the same school, so you probably want to go somewhere else if you want to get into Stanford, UofM, or Ohio State for grad school.\n\nEven though it's a long time before this will matter to you, I should mention that the "best" program will vary depending on what area of psychology you decide to pursue.  The three schools you mentioned are generally strong in all areas, but there may be another school that is better in developmental psych, clinical, personality, etc.  As you work toward your bachelor's, you'll get an opportunity to talk to faculty in different areas to get a sense of what your best options might be.

Yes, absolutely. I know many students who've got a bachlors degree in one subject and a master's in something else. I'm going to do the same. Best of luck to you. =>

Use the method shown by cyanne2ak.  Listing advanced degrees is appropriate when used as a professional qualification, but not bachelor's - though multiple degrees may qualify.  And only on a business card, not letterhead or signatures.  Excepting doctors and maybe lawyers.\n\nFor instance, a mechanical engineer may list an MS, especially if it is for a related, but different discipline [e.g. architecture].  However, a mechanical engineer with an MA in English Literature should probably not list it.

B.S. stands for Bachelor of Science. The bachelor's degree is the basic college degree. The post-graduate degrees are the Masters degree, and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D). The Ph.d is the highest degree a  regular university can award.This does not include the medical school graduates, who are awarded Doctor of Medicine degrees (MD's), or the law school graduates who are awarded Juris Doctor degrees (JD's).
