How many years of school do you need to be a phycologist?

To become a psychologist, you typically need a minimum of 7 years of schooling after high school. This usually involves:

* 4 years: Bachelor's degree (often in psychology, but sometimes in a related field).

* 4-7 years: Doctoral degree (Ph.D. or Psy.D.). The length of the doctoral program can vary.

Some doctoral programs may be shorter or longer depending on the specific program and whether a pre-doctoral internship is included.
