For those interested in eventually becoming psychologists, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/life-physical-and-social-science\/psychologists.htm\">job outlook<\/a> is bright and the pay is promising. However, becoming a psychologist is not the only career outcome. A bachelor of Psychology can still provide a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bridgeport.edu\/news\/what-can-you-do-with-bs-in-psychology\">variety of job prospects<\/a> after graduation.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally, students who\u2019ve wanted to pursue a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bridgeport.edu\/academics\/schools-colleges\/arts-sciences\/bachelors-degree-psychology-bs-program\">Psychology degree<\/a> have had to attend classes on campus and in person. However, the pandemic has changed the way we view higher education. Students and teachers can now make a choice between in person and distance learning. More students have experienced the benefits of online learning, and in turn, are more strongly considering this option. Online degree programs offer great flexibility, without sacrificing a quality education. As a result, some students have found themselves wondering if they can complete <em>the entirety<\/em> of their degree from afar. Fortunately for you, it is entirely possible to complete a bachelor of Psychology online.<\/p>\n<h2>Online Psychology Coursework<\/h2>\n<p>Much like a traditional, in-person program, students who pursue an online bachelor\u2019s degree in Psychology must complete a core of general education courses, including Science, Math, and Humanities courses. Additionally, students will take core, field-oriented classes in psychology. These may include the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Child Psychology<\/li>\n<li>Social Psychology<\/li>\n<li>Research Methods<\/li>\n<li>Personality Psychology<\/li>\n<li>Abnormal Psychology<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Students in an online Psychology bachelor\u2019s degree program will also take a selection of elective courses in Psychology. Some examples of elective courses include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Maturity and Aging<\/li>\n<li>Lifespan Developmental Psychology<\/li>\n<li>Animal Behavior<\/li>\n<li>Drug Effects and Behavior<\/li>\n<li>Biological Psychology<\/li>\n<li>Forensic Psychology<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These elective credits may help guide students\u2019 interests and help them decide how they\u2019d like to apply their studies in Psychology in their future career.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, bachelor of Psychology students will take additional elective courses to finish out their online curriculum. If students choose, they can use these elective credits to form the basis for a minor in another area of study.<\/p>\n<h2>Benefits of Earning a Bachelor of Psychology Online<\/h2>\n<p>While many students crave the camaraderie and excitement of an on-campus college experience, there are many benefits to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychology.org\/online-degrees\/bachelors\/\">pursuing a degree online<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>A Quality Education<\/em><br \/>\nAs illustrated above, students who earn their bachelor\u2019s degree online receive a comprehensive, well-rounded education, comparable to their peers who attend classes in person. In addition, online students may find that they <a href=\"https:\/\/bits.blogs.nytimes.com\/2009\/08\/19\/study-finds-that-online-education-beats-the-classroom\/?_r=0\">benefit from distance learning<\/a>. Online courses give students the ability to take their coursework at their own speed, giving them the time they need to understand the course material. Studies have also shown that retention rates for online students are higher than for more traditional students. While this may be due to the fact that online study frequently provides students with digital access to class materials and virtual office hours, it may also have to do with the amount of flexibility that online education provides.<\/p>\n<p><em>Flexibility<\/em><br \/>\nOnline programs offer students a degree of flexibility that in-person studies frequently cannot. For example, online programs often offer multiple start terms per year, allowing students to matriculate when and how they want to. Additionally, due to the very nature of distance learning, students can view lectures from anywhere in the world, complete and submit homework assignments online, and share class materials easily. This flexibility gives students the opportunity to complete their studies while working or even raising a family. School can happen wherever and whenever you need.<\/p>\n<p><em>Accelerated Options<\/em><br \/>\nIn addition to flexible online offerings, students may choose to complete their bachelor of Psychology quickly by enrolling in an accelerated degree program. This entails taking classes year round, in the Spring, Summer, and Fall. These <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bridgeport.edu\/academics\/schools-colleges\/school-professional-studies\/ideal-accelerated-degree-completion\/psychology-bs\">accelerated Psychology courses<\/a> may be completed fully online or in a combination of both on-campus and online formats. Courses can be taken on weekends, evenings, or during the day. With this level of flexibility, students can shorten their degree program from the standard four year term and begin their career as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p><em>Affordability <\/em><br \/>\nOne of the top ways in which an online degree can be beneficial to students is that online programs are frequently more affordable than traditional options. Online study precludes the necessity for students to live on campus, saving them housing costs. Additionally, students studying from home won\u2019t have to worry about the costs of parking or commuting. Of course, many online programs also charge students less in tuition and\/or fees. For example, for online science courses students rarely are charged a lab fee.<\/p>\n<p>Students interested in pursuing a bachelor\u2019s degree in Psychology should not feel obligated to complete their studies in a traditional way. For the working student, the non-traditional student, or even the student who feels safer studying at home, an<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bridgeport.edu\/academics\/schools-colleges\/school-professional-studies\/psychology-bs-online\"> online bachelor\u2019s degree in Psychology<\/a> is not only possible but, in many ways, beneficial. Online programs are affordable, flexible, and don\u2019t diminish the quality of a student\u2019s undergraduate education. Instead, online programs adequately prepare students for post-graduate studies or even in a career right after graduation.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Is a bachelor of Psychology online right for you? <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bridgeport.edu\/academics\/schools-colleges\/school-professional-studies\/psychology-bs-online\"><strong><em>Learn more about University of Bridgeport\u2019s online Psychology program!<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many benefits to pursuing a bachelor\u2019s degree online.
