How long is psychology school?

Psychology degrees are offered at the associate's level, bachelor's level, master's level, and doctorate level. The length of these programs varies greatly, with an associate's degree generally taking around two years, and a bachelor's degree requiring four. After earning a bachelor's degree, a master's degree adds two additional years and a doctorate can add four.

Depending on what you want to do with your psychology degree, the educational requirements vary. If you want to work as a clinical psychologist or as a psychologist, you need to hold a doctorate degree in psychology. If you plan on working as a psychiatric aid, you only need to hold an associate's degree.
