List of credentials in psychology

This list is of professional and academic credentials in the field of psychology and allied fields, including psychotherapy, counseling and social work. Academic degrees such as the doctorate are available in these fields, but only those specifically for psychological subjects are included.

Degrees

Although undergraduate (Bachelor's) degrees for psychology and counseling exist, in most jurisdictions, the minimum requirement for licensure is a graduate degree (master's or doctorate).

  • Associate of Art (AA) or Associate of Science (AS): Associate degrees are usually two-year degrees and are often offered at community colleges. Many choose to start with associate degrees in counseling psychology, clinical psychology, or related fields, before starting work on degrees which require further education. An associate degree is usually not required in order to enroll in a bachelor's degree program.
  • Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) - 4 years of college/university, clinical coursework in Social Work, Guidance, Counseling, Psychotherapy, Human Services, Psychology, others, and extensive internship experience including counseling/therapy required.
