I already have a Master's and CAS and am looking to find an online school that will allow me to transfer some graduate credits towards a PhD in psychology. Ideally, I would like to focus on developmental, social/personality, research/assessment, or general psychology. I am not looking to pursue counseling or clinical psychology, so do not need to be licensed. What is recommended as a good institution? I have come across programs at Walden and Capella... are these all that are available? TIA!

What are you planning to do with it? If you want to teach in a university then your best bet is an APA accredited residential program. I believe Fielding was APA accredited (mixed residency and DL). Always keep in mind, that schools like NCU, Walden, UofP, are likely to not put you in the highly competitive category when you are competing against Generic State University's APA accredited graduate. I think (as best I can recall from years ago) that Fielding had a good reputation but is VERY expensive. If it for your own personal interest with no plans to teach in a RA University, then consider a nationally accredited program like California Southern University Online Education | Online Education Degree - California Southern University or CalCoast Welcome - California Coast University These programs are much less expensive. Plus actually CSU qualifies for licensure in California (I do not know rules on reciprocity but due to national accred, it will limit or eliminate practice outside California). Hopefully, an actual Psychologist could post in reply to your thread and give better guidance.
Saybrook and Argosy have non-clinical PhD programs in Psychology. Maybe not to your taste though. Pacifica Graduate Institute too. Also, depending on how you plan to use it, there are a little pile of programs offered by non-US schools, I'm thinking mostly Australian schools but also places in South Africa.
