Online Degrees: Psychology

Degree programs in psychology prepare students to work in fields including family therapy, counseling, clinical healthcare, social work and more. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, career opportunities for substance abuse and behavioral disorder counselors are expected to grow 24% through 2016. While advanced degrees are required for many psychology positions, it is possible to find entry-level work in the field with an associate degree. Psychology aides and assistants often hold associate degrees. With advanced degrees, licensed psychologists go on to work in private practice and a range of clinical and social settings. All states require additional professional certification for licensure.

By participating in AQIP, Capella is required to analyze its operational processes and measure outcomes within each of nine different quality criteria, and to set ambitious performance goals, such as converting all its courses to an outcomes/competency-based model.
