* "APA Degree" is not a specific degree: APA stands for the American Psychological Association. They don't grant degrees themselves. They are a professional organization that sets standards for psychology programs and offers accreditation.
* Degree types vary: Psychology degrees come in many forms:
* Bachelor's (BA or BS in Psychology): Typically takes 4 years.
* Master's (MA or MS in Psychology): Usually 1-2 years after a bachelor's degree.
* Doctorate (PhD or PsyD in Psychology): This is a research-focused degree, typically taking 5-7 years after a bachelor's degree.
* Individual factors: The time to complete a degree can vary depending on:
* Full-time vs. part-time study: Part-time students naturally take longer.
* Previous coursework: Some courses may transfer from a previous degree, shortening the program.
* Individual pace: Some students finish faster than others.
