How long does it take to become a psychologist? It can take as few as 6 or as much as 13 years of schooling to become a fully qualified psychologist. Most, however, spend between 6 and 10 years earning a postsecondary education. Commonly, students take approximately 8 years to get a 4-year bachelorâs and a 4- to 7-year psychology doctorate. Certain positions in this field that do not involve independent clinical practice may take just 6 years.
In order to become a licensed clinical psychologist, you need an undergraduate degree (4 to 5 years of college) plus a doctorate in psychology (4 to 7 years of graduate school). For this specialty area, most people will spend between 8 to 12 years in a higher education setting.
