A psychologist must have a doctorate degree in psychology in order to obtain their license. Master's programs typically go about 2 years with another year or so of practical experience after graduation. Doctoral programs range from 5-8+ years and include intensive course work, practical experiences, and a final internship experience that is similar to a medical residency. After graduation, those with a doctoral degree (e.g., PhD or PsyD) must also obtain hours of experience, pass a national exam, and jurisprudence exam in order to qualify for a license to practice.
