Answer by michele
4 years of college (undergrad) – major in psychology

2 years for your master’s degree

2-3 additional years of doctoral coursework (either Ph.D. or Psy.D.)

dissertation (how long this takes depends on you – Ph.D.’s complete dissertations, while some Psy.D.s do not)

1 year full time APA approved internship

pass the EPPP (how long this takes also depends on you, some pass the first time, others do not – it’s like the “bar” for attorneys)

1-3 years POST DOCTORAL supervised experience – the number of years required varies by state

Once you have completed ALL of the above, you will be eligible to apply for licensure as a psychologist in most states in the USA.

Best of luck with your future occupational endeavors,
~Dr. B.~
