Answer 1

1. If you go to a private college, it is much more expensive than a state college ($1,000 vs. $200 per class)

2. A bachelor's degree in psychology takes 4 years, but a bachelor's degree will not get you a job, you'll need at least a master's degree, which takes, at least, 2 more years.

3. Here's a list of links to different schools in the USA. Remember, STATE schools are always cheaper.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Just about every college in the USA now has its own website. Just enter a college name into your favorite search engine, such as Google, and you'll find they have all the info about their school on their website. Many even list the names of professors and the courses each teaches. Each school will certainly give a list of admissions requirements and procedures. As for cost, there is a wide range, but generally figure a minimum of $5000 per year tuition, plus housing a similar amount. The more expensive schools, such as those in the Ivy League, could go as high as $25,000. The most popular admissions methods in the USA involve either the SAT or ACT, which are tests given several times a year nationally. I am more acquainted with the SAT, which it is in several parts, there are specialized tests in fields such as biology, math, and foreign languages in addition to the general knowledge test, and it is offered in a number of locations outside the USA. Scoring is a bit peculiar, with possible scores running from 200 to 800. Different colleges have different score expectations for admissions. Most colleges also require an applicant to write a personal essay as part of the application process, and of course will want to see high school grades. Most charge an application fee, which runs from $50 to $100 depending on the college. Again, this will be on their websites.

Answer 3

Every college is different but ball park with housing is about $20,000 a year. You can get an undergrad in psych in 4 years but you really need a PhD in this field to get a meaningful job. You need to do a little internet research about what state or area in the US you are interested in and then search to see what colleges are located there. From that point you can contact the colleges directly and look at their web sites to see what their requirements etc are.

Answer 4

Colleges in the USA are pretty expensive but I would guess around $10,000 to $20,000 a year or around $300 per course if non-residents... Try looking for the state colleges they are usually cheaper and pretty good like City College of New York, State University of California...

type schools in the USA on google and you will see a bunch of them...

Answer 5

Figure out what college you might be interested in going to - you'll have to do that research yourself since it would really depend on your grades, interests, and professional goals. You can go to any college's website and see their registration requirements and fees associated with them. Once you have narrowed your list down more, you can email or call the registrar's office for more info. Be sure you look at the foreign student fees (might just be listed as out-of-state tuition).

Answer 6

On average, a 4 year Bachelors in Psychology would be about $100,000 with room and board. Count on more for books, clothes, everyday living.
