Answer 1

No, such a school does not exist. Any accredited, degree-granting college program is going to require a core curriculum in liberal arts classes outside your major. And since psychology is a social science, it will always require at least one statistics class to prepare you for your research methods classes. Except for learning the history of psychology, you might be able to avoid taking an actual history class. However, you should expect to take several classes of natural sciences as well as arts/cultures/humanities, and, most likely, a writing class or two in addition to your other classes in the social sciences.

Requirements for most liberal arts degrees (a bachelors, that is) often comprise about half of all your credits/units needed for graduation, so there is often plenty of room for electives. Many times, students don't know what do to with all those electives, so they opt to pursue a minor concentration or even a double major.

As you continue to ask questions to figure out what you want to do in college, please note that psychology programs don't exist as "schools of psychology" within college organizations. Let people know that you're thinking of majoring in psychology, but also try to clarify what you hope to do as a career. See, to me, you still sound a little lost about what you want to do since, if you understood the field of psychology, you'd understand that you would NEED to take a broad spectrum of courses in order to fully understand what makes people tick. So maybe you're really looking for something else.

[revised and edited] Ah, I see from your other questions on Yahoo Answers that you basically want to study child psychology to help you be a better parent. If you're not looking to get a degree in psychology, you would be best served just taking psychology classes from your local community college.

Answer 2

It depends on if you are seeking a Bachelors Degree, Masters Degree or PhD. Most states require a Masters in order to be a social worker or mental health counselor. Most states require a PhD or equivalent to be a Psychologist. You'll need to check with your state to find out what they require.

With all due respect, look for a field that's more honest and genuinely helpful to people, rather than one that pretends to be.
