* Bachelor's Degree (B.A. or B.S. in Psychology): Typically takes four years of full-time study.
* Master's Degree (M.A. or M.S. in Psychology): Usually takes 1-2 years of full-time study after completing a bachelor's degree. Some programs may be longer or shorter depending on the specialization and program requirements.
* Doctoral Degree (Ph.D. or Psy.D. in Psychology): This is a significant commitment, typically taking 4-7 years of full-time study beyond a bachelor's degree. Ph.D. programs often have a research emphasis, while Psy.D. programs tend to focus more on clinical practice.
It's important to note that these are estimates. Part-time study will naturally extend the timeframe. Some students may also complete their degrees faster or slower depending on their academic progress and other factors.
