Choosing A Psychology Program From Prichard

The subject matter does not change by location: research methods and statistics, developmental, cognitive, social and abnormal psychology, and a research or field capstone. What changes is how you take it. Ask each college whether the program holds accreditation from a recognized institutional accreditor, how much of the coursework is delivered online, and which components require you on campus. Credit transfer is decided by the receiving institution and genuinely varies, so request a written transfer evaluation before you enroll.
