| Psychology degrees online are excellent preparation for going into the many fields of human behavior and mental processes. Distance learning psychology can open the door to a rewarding career as a psychologist or counselor for someone who wants to study from the convenience of home. A distance education program is one in which the instructor and the student are geographically separate. Instead of by face-to-face contact, instruction takes place via video, satellite TV broadcast, or Internet-based applications such as chat rooms, email, discussion boards, or computer conferencing. Distance learning psychology online is the dominant form of this non-traditional format of education. A psychologist is a non-medical doctor who focuses on the process and development of the mind. There are many specialties in the field of psychology and a wide variety of career paths that distance learning psychology can make possible. Careers in this field typically require at least a bachelors degree and most require masters and even doctorate degrees. Some specialty counseling positions require only an associates degree. Distance learning psychology online enables one to earn anywhere from an associates degree in psychology up to a specialized doctorate. Obviously, these requirements can not be completed online; however, one can complete their coursework through a distance education and arrange clinical internships at facilities convenient for them.An education in this manner can make the formidable task of acquiring these advanced degrees much more manageable for students. |
