Hi Frida,


Here it is:


Step 1: Psychologists must have a bachelor's degree in psychology


Step 2: Earn a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology


As an aspiring psychologist, you must have a Bachelor of Science in Psychology or a related degree. According to College Board, you may expect to take courses in cognitive psychology, personality development, abnormal psychology, biological psychology, social psychology, learning and memory development (www.collegeboard.com). Once you have graduated, you'll be able to assist psychologists in mental health centers and rehabilitation offices.


Step 3: Get a Master's Degree in Psychology


A few classes you may take are psychopathology, social psychology and assessment of personality. With a master's degree, one job option is working in the industrial-organizational psychology field as an assistant to a research psychologist.
