Post Body

So I have a degree in two majors completely unrelated to psychology (atmospheric science and emergency management/homeland security) and I work full time in the Emergency management field.

I’ve decided child psychology is what I want to do in life and I am trying to figure out my best course of action. I haven’t even taken psych 101.

Should I hop right into a masters to phd program and try and get caught up? Is that plausible? Do I need to take some classes first? If so, can I take some of these classes online or do they need to be in person?

Thanks!
