	Psychology Degrees Psychology Degrees Psychologists study mental processes and human behavior by observing, interpreting, and recording how people and animals relate to one another and the environment. To do this, psychologists often look for patterns that will help them understand and predict behavior using scientific methods, principles, or procedures to test their ideas. Through such research studies, psychologists have learned much that can help increase understanding between individuals, groups, organizations, institutions, nations, and cultures. •Job opportunities are naturally best for individuals with higher degrees. Individuals with a doctoral degree are highly sought after, especially ones who holds degrees in a particularly in-demand subfield, such as health; those with a master’s degree will have good prospects in the corporate environment; bachelor’s degree holders will have limited prospects due to steep competition. •Employment growth will vary by specialty; for example, clinical, counseling, and school psychologists will have 11% growth; industrial-organizational psychologists will have 26% growth; and 14% growth is expected for all other fields of psychology.

LaSalle in Chicago was not necessarily fake. It was once accredited by DETC (then known as National Home Study Council). So the legitimacy of the LaSalle degree depends on the date it was awarded.

Kensington also not necessarily fake -- once was CA "approved."

Brantridge Forest School is a diploma mill.

Does anyone know anything about the "Brantridge Forest School?" Its googleable graduates tend to have degrees in non-standard health care areas including a Dr. of Chromotheraphy.

That particular accredited LaSalle had no connection to the degree mill in Louisiana.

I am sure the Louisiana one chose the name because the Chicago one had been around for a very long time before it closed.

Exactly what qualifications do owners of trade schools need? I would guess none.

I love the "chromotherapy." Treatment with colors?

I see that this person also has a Feng Shui "Black Hat" certification.

I am quite confident that Brantridge University, Brantridge Forest School, etc., is just another name for the fake called Sussex College of Technology, and the University of the Science of Man.

Pretty sure they were always in the health products world, as well as selling degrees. Still one of the places you can buy a radionics box.
