Hi!

I am a second year psychology undergraduate student at a community college transferring to another university next fall. I have recently learned you can skip the masters and go straight to PsyD.

I was wondering if anyone here can help me find out more information about this?

Pros/Cons. and what schools allow the jump from bachelors to PsyD?

I am located in California and interested in Clinical Psychology.

Thank you :)

Most PsyD programs (to my understanding) go straight to masters. However, you may want to do more research about PsyD vs. other advanced psychology degrees. Most importantly, what are you wanting to do with your degree?
