Common questions
Do I need a psychology bachelor's to enter a master's program?
Not always. Several partner master's programs in counseling and human services accept applicants from any undergraduate major, sometimes with a short foundations sequence.
Are these programs licensure-eligible?
Licensure varies by state and by degree. Advisors confirm whether a specific program aligns with your state's licensure path.
What's the difference between psychology and human services?
Human services is applied and community-facing (case management, social services, nonprofit work). Psychology is broader - often a step toward counseling, therapy, or graduate research.
