There are plenty of schools out there that offer masters in psychology. First, you have to narrow down what you want your degree in. Developmental, organizational, cognitive, experimental, counseling, neurophysiology, etc. Once you know what field you want to study you can do a search for what schools offer which programs. You will probably need to take the GRE for admission to graduate school. Also since your major wasn't psychology in undergrad you will probably have to take some psychology classes to meet prerequisites for the graduate courses. The courses needed will vary depending on the program. You may want to look at the American Psychological Association web site (www.apa.org) for more information on the fields of psychology. They also have a division for psychology graduate students that you might find interesting.

Clincial psychology generally does not require extensive research though a research paper or two is almost certain no matter what you do.\n\nGet the April 9th issue of U.S. News and World Report and they rank graduate schools including clinical psychology if you are seeking a top 25 school.  It will give relative ranks on other schools too.  Remember the "top" schools do not always give the best education.  They sometimes have faculty members who are publishing and doing great research which might not help you a lick.\n\nFinally someone suggested going to medical school.  Achieving a 48 hour master's degree (a casual 2 year degree) and a 4 year medical degree with 6 more years of residency are quite a bit different...in fact there's is no earthly comparison.\n\nGood luck.

I agree completely. Scores range from 200-800 with 500 being around average. What score you need to get into grad school totoally depends on the program you are going into. For example. The average score of admitted applicants at the graduate school and program I am in (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, PhD Clinical Psychology) was 650 verbal and 710 Quantitative.

To work as a psychologist in these settings, you typically will need a Ph.D. in psychology--not in another field such as education or social work.

Realistically you will need to either become a skilled pilot in the Air Force or get a related degree (a masters or doctorate in something like astronomy, geology, biology, engineering, genetics, phisiology, physics, perhaps even psychology).  You will also want to maintain reasonable physical and mental health.\n\nMany apply to become astronauts but of course very few are chosen.

Only way your gonna get your wings is by getting into the Air Force Academy. I would suggest you think about flying helicopters for the Army. Air Force Academy fills it's flying ranks internally through the academy, as does Navy Air Corp from Annapolis. Army will take college grads who have been through ROTC in college and you can petition to become a helicopter pilot otherwise enjoy being an officer  as a radar operator, communications specialist, navigator or mechanic in the Airforce or Navy

The higher the better.  Air Force is very competitive.  Also, your ASVAB score will determine which MOS (jobs) you will or won't qualify for. You only get a couple shots at the ASVAB, so study your brains out!

Depends on what kind of grad program you're thinking of. Some programs offer full tuition waivers and stipends or fellowships to every candidate. Most PhD programs are like that. But the professional degrees (MBA, MS in accounting, law, medical) will cost you unless you win a rare fellowship. Good luck!

I fully considered going to the academy.  It is a wonderfull school.  One of my best friends attends now, and he loves it.  It's hard to get into though.  Your going to have to work your butt off.  I'd say go for it if your thinking about it. From what I hear it's a lot of fun.  the web site helps a lot, it's www.usafa.edu.  they have a lot of programs, sports, choirs, tonz of fun stuff.            oh, and to the person who thinks that the military is stupid and you shouldn't go into it... you probably just couldn't handle it, just be gratefull that there are people out there who are protecting your ungratefull behind.

Do you mean the University of Texas at San Antonio? If so, then yes. Check out the link to their psychology dept.

I'm working on my second PhD right now and really enjoy it.  Depending on what kind of PhD you want, there a quite a few online options now.\n\nBut overall, grad school in the states is like no where else on the planet.  We can't build a car, make our own Wal-Mart merchandise or answer our own Customer Service calls – but man can we ever give you a proper education!\n\nWhere are you planning on going?  What are you planning on working for?  Why the states?

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.

If you can do it, the best options for you will be to get a Masters and/or PhD from a university in a country where the native language is English. In that way, you'll be truly fluent when you leave, and also have gained an in-depth understanding of the cultures that helped form the language. So, I'd look at schools in the US, in England, in Canada, and potentially even in Australia. \n\nA good resource that you can start with is the Peterson's Guide. I've provided a link, below. Click on the topic "grad school", and you'll be able to learn what qualifications and exams you'll need in order to be able to enter a graduate level program in the USA.

Military academies have many top students. You do not need to be in one to go to the air force but it would help.\nWhat he needs to do is study study study Be the top of his class and a sports. ROTC any where he going would be a must even if its not air force.

To practice as a psychologist in the United States you must first (if you haven't already) receive a doctoral degree from a program approved by the A.P.A. - they do approve some foriegn programs too, but they must be evalutated. Graduation is followed by a mandatory one-year intership which can be done in a variety of areas - hospitals, private clinics, etc. After that you must be liscened in whatever state you are going to practice in. Most states require little more than above, but you can find out specifics by visiting that state's licensing board website.

You can do that if you go enlisted. They will help you get your bachelors, its called TA tuition assistance, as well as having the MGIB.
