Help on a Doctorate in Psychology

[Exfactor]

While there are states that don't require APA accreditation for licensure, you really limit yourself by not having an APA accredited degree, as almost everyone requires it. Most individuals I see in non-APA programs are individuals who already have a masters in psychology, and are professors who want their Ph.D where APA accreditation may not matter, and those who are uninformed about what APA accreditation is all together. Theres so many options out their that limiting yourself to a non-APA degree is just not logical. Most internship sites require APA accreditation, as well as post-docs, and many jobs. The only online school thats APA accredited is Fielding Graduate University. A friend of mine received his Ph.D from there, and started making $100.00 an hour right after graduation, but it's a totally expensive program.
