The options are wide open, so you should be able to find many different types of work once you have your degree.

Some schools are able to offer forensic psychology programs so that you can receive your degree, whether you are choosing a Master’s or a doctorate. Programs for a Bachelor’s degree are likely going to be only in psychology, and not in the specific discipline of forensic psychology. However, you will be able to supplement the psychology courses with criminology courses. It’s possible to find some that offer online forensic psychology programs, while others are going to be in a traditional classroom type setting. Whichever you choose, you will need to make sure that you are going to a high quality school, as this can affect your future.

When you are getting ready to get your higher-level degrees through forensic psychology programs, you will likely want to learn a bit more about the licensing of psychologists in the state where you plan to practice. This will let you know what type of internship or other work experience requirements you are going to have to have. While you will be able to find work with your Master’s degree, you will have more options available to you when you complete your doctorate and have your license. It’s going to be quite a difference in salary, as well as the type of work that you will be able to do.
