Obtaining a PhD in psychology usually requires 5 to 7 years of graduate study after The Bachelor's degree is received. Usually, a dissertation is required, but a PsyD degree can be based on practical work experience and exams instead. Most states require an EdS degree in school psychology to work as a school psychologist, which requires a minimum of 3 years (60 semester hours) of graduate work.
Typically four years, to take the general education requirements and then to major in psychology. Some can do it in fewer years than that, if they enter college with advanced standing (due to testing out of requirements, or having taken college level courses in high school). Bear in mind that a bachelors in psychology is a starting point to being a psychologist, one must get a PhD in psychology to practice. The PhD program typically takes at least 5 years of graduate school AFTER the bachelor's degree.
A bachelor's degree in most areas can require between 120 to 128 college credits particular to a specific program of study. This would be based on a college or university that operates on a regular two semester academic year which is the most common. For institutions that operate on a tri-semester or quarter-semester it would be quite different. That being said, the Bachelor's degree - in most cases - is designed as a four year program of study, provided the student is full-time and follows their chosen program of study as prescribed by the college or university, and also provided the individual does not require prerequisite or developmental coursework as a result of basic skills testing. The minimum credit load for a full-time student is no less than 12 credits per semester. However, to complete the degree within the four years, a credit load of approximately 15 to 18 credits is recommended. For individuals who work or who have other responsibilities that would prohibit them from attending full-time, completion of the degree may take twice as long. Still, some of this time can be cut down by attending summer sessions and/or interim sessions. In addition, the bachelors and associate degrees are referred to as undergraduate degrees while the masters and doctorate degrees referred to as graduate degrees.
