Start by considering what earning an online psychology masters degree requires. While it may seem ideal in terms of convenience and flexibility, it will be your responsibility to keep up with the workload. You will not be able to raise your hand and ask a question, so it will take longer to get an answer than it would in a traditional classroom. You must be able to communicate effectively via email and online discussion boards.
If you determine that earning an online degree is appropriate for you, search the internet to find out what schools offer online psychology degrees. A few websites to reference are www.allpsychologyschools.com and www.guidetoonlineschools.com.
Search these (and similar) sites for online psychology masters degree programs. You will likely get a list of available schools/programs along with some very basic information. There will also usually be an online form you can fill out to request more information.
While the additional information may be helpful, it is also a good idea to go directly to the school's website and search for the online program. This will likely give you more detailed information.
Once you find a program that interests you, try contacting the school. They should be able to answer any specific questions you might have about the program, as well as more general questions about earning an online degree.
If you are interested in becoming a licensed psychologist or counselor, make sure the online psychology masters degree program you are interested in is accredited. If it is not accredited, you may not qualify for licensure.
Once you have decided on a program and all of your application materials are ready, send in your application. You can always apply for several programs if you have more than one school that interests you.
