PhD in Psychology

[mommyof8]

Hi all I am new here and have lots of questions.

First off i have 0 credits to start with and would like to get a Phd in Pyschology. I know that it is going to be a long road and I am prepared for it. I have been searching and looking into schools and getting as much info as I can.
First off is getting my Bachelors degree. Would it really matter if I got a BA in Psych or should I get a BS in Psych in order to get my Masters?

TESC only offers a BA while Excelsior offers both. since I live in NJ I would prefer to enroll in TESC. I would like to test out as much as i can and then fill it in with classes (aleks, tesc,etc..)

After my BA/BS I need to get my Masters. In looking at schools, I was interested in going to Liberty online, but they are not CACREP certified. So I did a search and found out that Capella online is. Now I searched their site and they offer a BS in Psych and a MS in Psych. Does anyone now if they would accept an BA in Psych in order to get their MS in Psych? All their site says about getting your Ms is that you need a Bachelors does not specify BS or BA. I plan on writing up my road map to my degree and will post it so all of you who have walked this road may help. Any advice (tests to take, courses to take) ANYTHING would be greatly appreciated.
