BA vs. BS in Psychology?
Question by : BA vs. BS in Psychology?
So I’m kind of between a rock and a hard place here. (I’m a Canadian student, Grade 11 or a junior in HS)
Note that either way, I am planning on being a psychologist when I’m older (mainly therapy, so I guess clinical psychology) so I am planning on going for my Ph.D. However, does a BA really weigh that much against my favour? I guess what I really want to know is if there really is a major difference between the two. Will a bachelor in science prove more useful for what I want to do? Will I have a harder time going for my master’s/Ph.D if I do decide to go for a bachelor of arts?
Sorry if my question might seem a little vague. I’m most likely going to talk to my guidance counselor after the break ends about this anyway, but I kind of want some input in advance. I’m gonna be quite honest, I’m leaning more towards a bachelor of arts since for a bachelor of science, I most likely will have to stay an extra semester to catch up on various science credits (since I have only taken biology in Grade 11). However, I want to get my Ph.D and make some money as well without any detrimental implications that may occur.
Okay, thanks. Can you provide more insight as to why? That’s kind of the whole purpose I’m asking this question. Why is a BS better?
I’m more or less interested in doing therapy and counseling (dealing with people’s problems), and not so much scientific research. What I wanna know is, will a Ph.D land me a good job in that field? And is a BS the recommended route to get into that profession?
