sowhat59 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) I earned my master's degree from a well known graduate school in 2010.After working in my field since then, I realized that pursuing a career in psychology is really what I want.Although I have a master's degree, I don't think it's possible for me to get into a psy doctoral program.So I looked at several graduate level programs and their application requirement, which include some pre-requisite.Since I've always been interested in psy, I read some books but was able to take only 1 psy course in my undergrad which was about "substance abuse." - not on the pre-req list.My goal is to earn a doctoral degree and continue researching and writing. I love interacting with people and listen to their issues but I'm a bit stronger on the scholastic side.Do I need to go back to undergrad and take Introductory Psychology, basic Statistics class and such?I looked at undergrad psy programs in my area but due to the CA budget cuts, most schools don't accept post-bacc student, which leaves me with pretty much one option to take the pre-req at community college.In a case that I do need pre-req, would classes from community college hurt my chance of admission to a grad program? What if my GRE and Psy subject test score is pretty high? Would community college still look bad? And how about online course? My GRE from undergrad is 3.6/4.0 and grad is 3.9/4.0 btw Edited January 20, 2014 by sowhat59
