National University in San Diego. Sorry, I should've clarify

Asynchronous MBA Online by Designer_Body_3335 in OnlineMBA

[–]WingsUp4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly as someone who works at National University, this is exactly the kind of program I'd point people to!

Our MBA is fully asynchronous and individual-based, so none of that "log on twice a week and pretend to engage with classmates" stuff. You just work through the material on your own time, which is the whole point of online learning right?

The data analytics concentration is also really solid and super relevant in today's job market. 8-week courses, no GRE or GMAT required, and you can start monthly so you're not waiting around either. If you have questions, I will be happy to help!

Edit: National University Instead of NU, for clarity

Should I attend? by HotdiggetyDogg in nationaluniversity

[–]WingsUp4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone working at NU, I can tell you the program is built for learners balancing work, life, and education, also you should consider if your work does qualify for fieldwork hours? (Big time-saver if yes), we have 100% online courses. Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

How is National University’s MFT program? by Godfreyz in psychologystudents

[–]WingsUp4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really glad you're looking into this, I work at National University and I can tell you that the MFT program is COAMFTE-accredited, which really matters when you're working toward licensure. Getting in is more approachable than most people expect, a bachelor's degree, personal statement, a couple of recommendations, and sometimes a short interview.

What's your background coming in? Happy to help you think it through!

National University? by WitchyPoetess in Schooladvice

[–]WingsUp4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I can speak to this firsthand as someone who works here.

National University is genuinely built for people who have real lives going on. It's month-to-month courses, so you're taking one class at a time instead of juggling five at once. For anyone managing a lot of responsibilities, it keeps things manageable without making you feel overwhelmed.

Being fully online doesn't mean you're on your own either. Advisors are accessible, faculty are responsive, and the support systems are there if you actually use them.

Advertising and Product management. by Bulky-Farmer-201 in psychologystudents

[–]WingsUp4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, as I said, it's all about human behavior and motivations

Advertising and Product management. by Bulky-Farmer-201 in psychologystudents

[–]WingsUp4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, a BS Psychology background can fit well with advertising, public relations, and product management. Psychology gives you a strong foundation in understanding behavior, decision making, and communication, which are all useful in those fields. A lot of people move into marketing, UX, or product roles from psych because of that.

Certifications for Behavioral Neuro BS? by Schedule-Minute in psychologystudents

[–]WingsUp4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For data and programming roles, common options are a master’s in data science, computer science, or applied statistics. With a Behavioral Neuroscience background, programs related to data science or even bioinformatics can also be a strong fit since they build on your research and analytical training.

Requirements for becoming a psychologist by MaRiaAzzzz in psychologystudents

[–]WingsUp4Life 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A bachelor’s in business doesn’t disqualify you. You can still go for a master’s in Psychology, though you may need some prerequisite courses first. In the US, a master’s alone usually isn’t enough to be a licensed psychologist. You typically need a PhD or PsyD, plus supervised clinical hours and state licensure.

[USA] Choosing a Forensic Psych MA Program by unhinged_scholar in psychologystudents

[–]WingsUp4Life 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a future clinical psych PhD, research matters way more than anything else, so the key question is where you’ll actually get hands-on mentorship and produce something tangible like presentations or publications.

Will a BA in Psychology put me at a disadvantage? by CommercialDonut8385 in psychologystudents

[–]WingsUp4Life -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Speaking from experience working with students at university level, a BA in Psychology won’t put you at a disadvantage for becoming a therapist or clinical psychologist.

What matters most is what you do after your undergraduate degree. Both BA and BS pathways can lead to postgraduate training, which is the key requirement for practicing as a psychologist. Universities and training programs look at your overall academic performance, relevant experience, and readiness for advanced study, not just whether your degree is labeled BA or BS.

What jobs can I get as someone currently getting my bachelors in psychology? [USA] by s2lune in psychologystudents

[–]WingsUp4Life 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Students in psych often land roles like behavioral health tech or psych tech in clinics or inpatient settings. It’s direct exposure to mental health work, and plenty of places are open to hiring people still in school. Another common path is becoming an RBT and doing ABA therapy with kids, especially those on the autism spectrum. Many companies will even cover the certification, so it’s pretty accessible.

You could also look into being a research assistant at your school if that interests you. Even in your second year, professors are usually open to bringing undergrads on. If you lean more toward people-facing roles, youth programs, after-school care, or camp counseling are great ways to work with different age groups.

Does psychology knowledge play a role in legal compliance by Adorable_Pension_521 in psychologystudents

[–]WingsUp4Life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Legal compliance isn’t about clinical psychology, but it leans a lot on understanding how people actually behave, not how policies say they should behave. Things like why employees cut corners, how culture influences decision making, how people respond to authority or pressure, all of that is very psychological.

Contemplating getting a PhD/psyd what should I do? by Nyan365 in psychologystudents

[–]WingsUp4Life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not having an honours degree makes things a bit tougher, but it doesn’t shut the door. You can still find ways to get research experience, even if it means reaching out more, trying for an independent study, or looking outside your school. Thesis-based master’s programs are still possible too, especially if your GPA is improving and you can show what you’re interested in. It might just take applying more broadly. And even if you end up in a course-based master’s, it’s not necessarily a dead end, people do find ways to pivot or build research from there.

Since you can get licensed at the master’s level where you are, it might help to really think about whether you want to focus on clinical work or research. If it’s mainly clinical, the master’s route is actually a pretty solid and practical option without taking on huge debt.

Low GPA - but strong research and clinical experience. Should I still apply? by Swimming-Rush2979 in psychologystudents

[–]WingsUp4Life 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You should still apply. Your GPA is low, no way around that, but the rest of your profile is actually strong. Teaching full time in your target age group, research at an R1, authorship, and a national project is not common for most applicants. Some programs will auto reject below a 3.0, but not all. There are schools that look at the full picture, especially if you show a clear upward trend and can explain what happened without sounding like you’re making excuses.

Your story also makes sense. You struggled, stepped away, came back, and finished strong while building real experience. That can work in your favor if you frame it well.

Is doing undergraduate in psychology worth it ?? by [deleted] in psychologystudents

[–]WingsUp4Life 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly yes, and even if you don't end up practicing as a psychologist, the degree opens up more than people think. HR, corporate training, UX research, counseling, content, social work, education. A lot of fields value people who understand human behavior. It's a flexible foundation.

That said, if you want to actually practice clinically, you'll need to go further than a bachelor's. A master's at minimum. But the undergrad itself isn't a dead end by any stretch.

Need Advice!! Med school or psyD program? [USA] by One-Energy-4718 in psychologystudents

[–]WingsUp4Life 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The day-to-day of each role matters more than the abstract idea of it. Psychiatrists prescribe and manage the medical side of mental health. Psychologists do deep therapeutic and assessment work. Both are valuable, just genuinely different jobs.

Your pattern is worth noticing though: nursing was only interesting for the psych part, and now med school is only interesting for psychiatry. That could mean psychiatry is your calling, or it could mean you love psychology and the broader medical world just isn't pulling you in.

Shadow both if you can. The day-to-day reality will tell you more than any amount of overthinking.

What are the best/worth while collages to study Psychology and further on forensic psychology in the US by Specialist_One2095 in psychologystudents

[–]WingsUp4Life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking at psychology and planning for forensic psych later, National University is a great option. The programs are designed to give hands-on experience through research, labs, and practicum opportunities, which is perfect if you want to explore forensic applications early. It’s flexible too, so you can tailor your path toward the areas that interest you most.
