what college is best to attend to become a psychologist?

Question

what colleges in Texas?

Answer 1

To become a psychologist, you first have to go to college and then you have to go to graduate school with a focus in psychology. If you want to practice as a clinical psychologist, you should go to the best undergraduate college that you can get into and you should try to become involved in psychological research as soon as possible. It's harder to get into many clinical psychology phd programs than it is to get into medical school (the average acceptance rate is about 2-4%), so getting involved in research early on is really important. the phd program trains students as scientist-practitioners, so reserach is really one of the best things that you can do to help your chances of success. almost all schools have active psychology labs, so it's not too hard to become involved in one of these. also, it's important to remember that very few people go right from undergrad to graduate school in psychology because of the work experience which they often require.

although most psychologists have a phd, you can also get a psyd. this is also a doctoral degree but places less of a focus on research -- instead, it primarily involves clinical training.

if you know that you only want to work as a therapist, you could also pursue a masters degree in social work or psychology. of course, you can only say that you're a psychologist if you have a phd in psychology, but all of these degrees provide training in psychotherapy so you could work with patients.

good luck!
