Chicago School of Professional Psychology

[driftingboat]

I'd like to go for M.A. in psychology.  Do you think an on-line degree would be a good idea?  Also, have you heard of Chicago School of Professional Psychology?  Before I start, I want to make sure that the degree I am getting is worth my time and money.

Thank you!

there is topic in this forum somewhere related to online degree and distance learning.

the basics are this.

if you want to practice as a professional psychologist / psychotherapist, you will need to be accredited or registered or lisenced depending on where you want to practice the criteria for the above will be different.

if the degree that you are studying is not approved by for example APA in the US or BPS in the UK, or any of the other governing bodies that cover the psychological therapies, then your degree is worthless.

the way to find out if your course is approved is to  think about what you want to practice and where, then go to the governing body website for that field in that country, and look at what courses they approve.

in the UK the only online degree that would enable you to register as a psychologist is through the open university

i hope this does not put you off studying, but be sure to find the right course.
