Though pictorial in many of its images and in the titles given to each movement, Beethoven stressed that the symphony was 'more an expression of feelings than a painting'. The feelings it arouses in the listener are of continuous joy and wonder, but the craft behind them is hardly less wonderful.
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.
Some students may also earn a master's degree in psychology, but many doctorate programs do not require it. After youâve been admitted to a graduate program, it generally takes at least four years to earn a Ph.D. and another year to complete an internship. Once these requirements have been fulfilled, students can take state and national exams to become licensed to practice psychology in the state where they wish to work.
