Online University for Police Psychology?

By Police Psychology, I mean I want to be a psychologist FOR police officers, dealing with trauma, etc.

I can’t do anything other than online for now, so please don’t bother saying go to a brick and mortar school.

What’s the best online university to go to for this area of study? I’m going to pass on the Associates degree and go straight for the Bachelor’s, Master’s, and then Psy.D (and then onto the test for a Psychology license).

I understand a lot of online schools might not offer all three degrees, so maybe a college that has both campus and online would work better incase they don’t have all degrees all online, which I would then switch to campus for that certain degree.

Someone help! Please give me all the information you have.

Thanks–

Since this is a program that requires a master’s degree and an advanced license with clinicals, it probably doesn’t exist.

Attend a college with a good criminal justice program and double major or at least minor in pscyhology. While there, make really, really great grades and apply for a clinical psychology program. Then you will need to perform

extremely well to enter into a psychology PhD program.

These programs are extremely competitive and you will need to attend in person, not a 100% on-line program. Sorry.

Try Argosy University. I think they have a online program in psych or at least several locations across the US. But I don’t think you can do the entire program online given that at the doctoral level you’ll have to complete competency exams, a couple thousand hours of practicum, and eventually an internship- all of which much be done on-site and require face-to-face supervision. So you might only be able to the BA online. Make sure whatever school/program you decide on is accredited .

To be honest, if there was program that offered a doctoral degree in psychology online, I would be concerned about the quality of my education and my professional reputation.
