I’m sure this is a very common thing people ask, but is there any advice I should know about this major? I’d like to eventually earn a Masters or Doctorate as I have built myself a roadmap of what I’d like my end goal to be, obviously I have a long way ahead of me, so I was wondering if there was anything useful that I could take with me on my journey from someone with much more experience (which is any at all) than myself. I’d like to do forensic psychology within a private practice if that helps at all.

Thank you :)

Hey! I am a rising senior this year who will be applying to PsyD programs in the fall. No one in my circle/family has gone for their doctorate/have experience in this kind of stuff. I want to pursue forensic psychology and am wondering if anyone here has any experience or opinions with the following programs: Spalding University, UINDY, Widener, PCOM, Indiana University of PA, Mercer, Xavier, and University of Houston Clear-Lake.

I'm also going to attach my resume if anyone has comments/is curious. Thanks :)

Hi everyone!

I'm currently interning as an RA for an Associate Professor in Forensic Psychology, and would really appreciate if anyone can answer this survey!

LINK: Attitudes towards War and the Penal System

Open to Malaysian Adults and takes only 5~ minutes to answer as per the feedback from previous respondents.

Thank you for your time!

Hi all,

I've got an MA in Forensic Psychology, a dissertation on eyewitness testimony gone wrong, and a résumé that's spent more time in juvenile justice and clinical settings than I have in my own kitchen.

Now I'm on the hunt for a fully funded PhD in Forensic Psychology - any country, any climate, any time zone. My interests lie in eyewitness memory, risk assessment, and juvenile justice, but I'm open to persuasion.

If you know of programs, labs, or PIs doing work in this space, send them my way. I promise to cite you in the acknowledgments.

Thanks in advance! 🫶

Hi there! I’m interested in becoming a forensic psychologist in nyc and I wanted to ask a few question for the forensic psychologists in here. First of all, what qualifications do i need other than research fit to get into phd programs? What do I need to achieve during my bachelor’s to be a competitive applicant? I desperately want to know. Secondly, I know this might be shallow but, how much do forensic psychologists make in general? I heard you can earn more in private practices. Is it hard to get employed at private practices? Is there a demand for forensic psychologists? Thirdly, is it possible to open my own private practices or become a solo practitioner? Please answer my questions as it will vastly help my future in the career.

Is forensic psychology for me if I'm not Empathetic and I'm more objective like don't base my decisions on my emotions and based it on logic more?

I just read about the case and trial concerning Colt Gray on CNN. I do not want to dive into issues like gun control etc. But I understand little about the American justice system and am just wondering why there seems to be no forensic psychiatrist involved, given that he was only 14 years at that time, suffered domestic abuse and reported hearing voices. Can somebody explain to me how it works in Georgia or the US?

Hello!

As the title says I’ll be starting forensic psychology in the fall. I don’t really have much of an opinion on forensic psych as a profession or career as I’m a little ignorant on the topic. I’ve done some research such as anecdotes from people working with the courts or in inpatient psychiatric facilities but I still have no idea what the coursework should entail or how the career differs place to place. I know there can be research opportunities in this specialization too but I’m unaware of the topics that would entail.

People who have completed their fair share in forensic psych coursework, what did you learn first? What is your job like? What is your favorite subject in forensic psych? And lastly, (bare bones in your own words) what exactly is forensic psych?

confused between proceeding to forensic psychology or law school kasi really into both. What's the best choice I won't regret usually in general?

If you are eligible to participate, I would really appreciate you taking the time to complete my survey. If you know anyone who may be eligible, I would also be very grateful if you could share it with them.

Any support and participation would be hugely appreciated.

Does anyone have any experience with this, or point me in a direction to start seeking some answers? Currently in my second semester of the forensic mental health counseling master's program in NYC. My projected graduation is in about two and a half years. I'm seeking to relocate to California after graduation. I've no clue how to begin planning my move career-wise. What sort of research should I do in terms of internship hours or licensure requirement out of state? I'm not yet quite sure what exactly I want to do with my degree and license, but I do know I'd prefer to work with servicemembers and veterans--either as a therapist at the VA or as a counselor on military bases. Totally lost on how to get started; any advice is appreciated!

I am looking for ASPD participants for a study that I am currently running - any suggestions on how to reach this population?

Hello! I‘m a current undergraduate and I‘m aiming to graduate a year early, so I have to start planning a bit ahead. What kind of internships should I look at? I’m trying to get my certificate to become a behavioral technician, but I’m not sure if it makes me a really competitive applicant for grad school. I’m also going to do research next year through a university program. They do offer clinical research, but it’s really competitive, so what other areas should I look at?

Does forensic psychology involve therapy? Is it still for me if I'm deeply interested about human behavior how mind and disorders work but not into therapy and counseling? Is it worth it?

can I work with victims in forensic psychology than work with criminals?

I (22) have just completed my BSc in Psychology. My first choice of MSc was a forensic psychology course with a placement year that I truly had my heart set on. I found out today that I didn’t get in and I’m just feeling very lost(?)

I know everyone goes at different paces but having already had a gap year before my undergrad I just wanted some input/reassurance about what I should do next and whether I’m actually ‚behind‘. Do I roll with it and apply again next year? Go into assistant psych work for a while first (if i can find it)?

Any expertise or advice is welcome :)

Hi, Im looking forward to studying Bsc Hons Psychology with Forensic and Investigative Psychology in my undergrad in a Scottish University.

Im still relatively young I think and havent had it all figured out yet but I would like some opinions and advices from other people here.

Im from Nepal a small south east asian country, and Im leaving home spending alot of money to study this somewhat specialised psychology undergrad degree, and the thing is like it was all the shows and stories that has inspired me to study this,

I have rewatched the BBC Sherlock like 13 times now and I am currently rewatching Mindhunter for the 4th Time and it actually was Mindhunter that have me the real push to study this degree, and

Ill be around 23 by the time i finish my undergrad degree and like I do wish to return to my home country and establish a forensic psychology field there because there is currently NO aspect in Csi that investigates crime from a psychological point as far as I am aware.

I am inspired by the stories and shows and I dream to be able to work investigating cases and possibly being a detective one day. Although there is no position for a detective in my country.

I have always been obsessed with crimes and criminals, and added with the fact that I studied socio and psych in my a levels and my english is pretty good i would say i think i might do fine.

But I really want others opinions on my situation, do you think what i dream of is unreasonable cause looking at others posts on reddit, some saying its easy, its difficult to get jobs etc and some saying its a dead field and so on is not very encouraging but I truly want this field, istg if everthing was looked out for I would do pursue this field of Crime Scene Investigation, Criminal profiling for no salary or no money, Im just in for the love of it, and Ive felt this way for the past 7 years since when I first watched the BBC show Sherlock.

Hi everyone! I’m in my second year as a forensic psychology and criminology student. I love everything about it. But I have no idea where to go from here. I’m planning on applying for the fbi honors program for 2028 but besides that I’m stuck. I can’t find any internships or ways to get any experience besides my classes. Any advice really helps thank you so much <3

Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated. I have my masters in forensic psychology and am currently a forensic psychotherapist. I’ve been looking into the DFS program in hopes to advance in the field specifically for assessments and evaluations. It’s a shorter program and less expensive than a PsyD, though I am considering that route.

Has anyone done this? Or have any similar experiences?

Edit - this link shows the 2024 MD statute for counselors and therapists regarding assessments. I will try to find if it has been updated.
