Hi Shoto
Thanks for that but i need a program that will allow me to get a license. With DETC accreditation I do not believe I can attain the psychologist license.
But i appreciate it.
Thanks again,

I don't know about other states, but this "masters in passing" is not aimed at getting someone licensed in my state. So it's definitely not the goal for someone wanting to get licensed.

Not as a Clinical Psychologist, no. A PhD or PsyD is needed for that. However, an MA in Psych will get you licensed as a family counselor, school counselor, etc...
The way it was explained to me when I was looking into the program was that some people decide they don't want to go all they way to a PsyD and drop out for whatever reason. The MA isn't the end goal, but more of a consolation prize should one fail to make it to the end.

I'm talking about LPA/LPC.
I understand the point of a masters in passing, but check your state's requirements on whether a masters in passing meets the specific requirements to get licensed in whatever field you want, or if you're better off getting a MA/MS aimed at getting licensed and then moving onto PsyD/PhD in case you drop out.
In this state, Argosy's doesn't from what they told me when I was there.
