I'm currently working on my bachelors degree in Psychology. I haven't quite decided what I'm going to do with it yet, but I know that I definitely want to get a graduate degree. I'm planning on applying to quite a few to increase my chances of getting accepted, seeing how competitive those programs are.
Here are a few graduate programs I'm interested in:
Masters in Professional Counseling
Masters in Marriage and Family Counseling
Masters in Industrial/Organizational Psychology
Doctorate degree in School Psychology
Doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology
Masters in Business Administration
Masters in Human Resources
I know that I can get into business school with an undergrad degree in psychology. BUT, can I get into a masters program in Healthcare Administration with that same undergrad degree or would I need an bachelors in something in the healthcare field? I started out as a nursing major and had two semesters of clinical courses, but I don't have a degree in it.
I'm leaning toward a night/weekend program and/or an online program for most of these graduate degrees so I can work and support myself while I finish school. Do employers see those degrees as equal to one completed on campus or would it be a waste of money to do it online?
My dream career course would be to graduate with my BA in psychology with great grades (which I fully intend to do) and go on to get my MBA from a great business school. However, the business school in my area that seems SO perfect requires 5 years of post-undergrad work experience. Is that required in all graduate programs or is it only some that look for that? I'd hate to wait 5 years to go back to school. A BA in Psychology isn't going to get me anywhere special in those 5 years...or so I hear.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated! 🙂
