Psychology Degree Programs Online

Psychology, the study of the mind and human behavior, opens up a range of career options. A psychology degree is most directly relevant to psychology research and mental healthcare jobs, but the qualification can also serve as a stepping stone into the business world. Education in human behavior is relevant to careers such as marketing research, corporate training, human resources, and management, and a psychology degree can lead to career advancement in these areas.

Online psychology programs offer qualifications ranging from certificates to doctoral degrees. Core coursework covers biology, social sciences, statistics, research methods, cognition and behavioral psychology, clinical science, and developmental and social psychology. Areas of specialization include clinical, school, sport, child, and organizational psychology.

Demand for psychology graduates is due to increase through 2014, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The expansion of healthcare, increasing emphasis on psychology in schools, and public demand for clinical services will drive growth across the field. Doctoral degree holders trained in applied specialties--counseling, health, and school psychology--stand to benefit the most. Training in computer science and quantitative methods also offers a competitive edge. Although no education program can guarantee earning potential, a median of $54,950 for school psychologists and $71,400 for organizational psychologists indicates strong opportunity for psychology grads.

"This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well.
Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature.
Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy."

-- Susan Polis Schutz
