The Best Online Schools for Psychology

Psychology is an academic and applied science that studies the human mind and behavior. Psychologists not only attempt to understand the role of an individual's mental functions, but they also explore the underlying neurological and physiological processes behind it. Well-trained psychologists with expertise in areas such as clinical psychology, marriage counseling and family therapy are sought after, and as such, many quality schools now offer degrees through online programs. Below are the top three as recommended by the All Psychology Schools website.
  1. Northcentral University

    • Northcentral is regionally accredited by The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, which is the most respected and recognized level of accreditation for both online and traditional universities. The school features several different graduate-level psychology programs offering a master's of arts degree: general psychology, health psychology and behavioral medicine, marriage and family therapy, gender studies, and industrial/organizational psychology. The ultimate goal of the school's psychology programs is to teach each student to apply the principles, techniques and skills of their specific focus to a variety of applicable settings. In addition, the school may choose to accept transferred units earned for graduate course work completed at another accredited college or university where the student got a grade of "B" or better.
