Question by musician1283: Can you become a licensed psychologist with a M.S in general psychology, or counseling psychology?
Hi folks. I just graduated with a bachelors degree in psychology, now I am trying to continue in graduate school to become a certified psychologist. If I complete the M.S in general psychology , will I be able to present the state exam (florida) to become licensed, or is that only for students who have finished a PsyD? Please let me know, and if you could include a link for me to read thoroughly that will help a lot. Thanks so much!
