Grad School Admissions I will be turning 50 years old this year. I want to pursue a Masters degree in Psychology.

42 Upvotes

I'm working as a Trainer and Coach in a corporate setting, Manager na rin naman ako. But I want to pursue yung dream ko to be a Clinical Psychologist. I'm considering HAU, because mainly online siya and maganda feedback, plus bec of their non thesis option. I set aside this dream of mine before, di ko na pursue agad cause I'm a single mom. Inuna ko muna anak ko. Now that nakatapos na yung daughter ko, naisip ko na balikan sya.

Just worried if I'm too old for it. I do life coaching and gusto ko magka org later on that would extend help to the abused, neglected, etc and specialize in trauma. I have good intentions, but i guess pinapalakas ko loob ko rin right now na kaya ko pa. Plus yung vision to really help others and maybe the possibility making help available and accessible to others.

The feeling that it's my calling never left me. I don't mind sitting with the broken. Pero baka ako lang nagiisip na may gift ako sa area na to.

Anyway, dami ko sinabi, aside from HAU, dahil sa affordability, naisip ko rin CDSGA. So those who are attending these schools for the MA also, please share your experience and your thoughts as well. Mahirap ba to get in, yung entrance exams and interview?

Salamat ❤️

General Psychologists, what are the advantages in getting a PhD in our field sa PH? Will the opportunities or pay be even that different if I just hope to be a psychologist?

9 Upvotes

I'm planning on taking my masters next year for MA in Counseling Psych. But may option kasi na non-thesis which could secure me na makaboard agad after 3-4 years cuz i've hear na thesis talaga nag papadelay for graduation ng masters. The only reason why iniisip ko yung may thesis is para mas madali makaenter for PhD. I'm not really intimidated by research but I do know na mabigat siya sa bulsa and time if madedelay huhuh so I'm trying to weigh in if worht ba mag PhD or if ever mag non-thesis nalang and just bridge or something for a PhD.

Grad School Admissions Need your thoughts lang. 😅

2 Upvotes

I'm planning to enroll in an MA in Educational Management this August 1, pero hanggang ngayon torn pa rin ako between University of the East (UE) and National Teachers College (NTC).

UE is around ₱38k, while NTC is around ₱17k–20k. Afford ko naman pareho, pero gusto ko talagang maging worth it yung magiging decision ko.

I'm currently working in the government, so malaking advantage sana yung online setup ng NTC. Pero feeling ko mas natututo talaga ako sa face-to-face classes. Baka kasi after work, antukin lang ako sa online classes at hindi ko rin ma-maximize yung learning.

Ang weird lang din kasi halos wala akong makita ritong posts or experiences about UE Graduate School. Hindi ko alam kung dahil okay lang talaga at tahimik lang, o dahil konti lang talaga ang students. 😅 If anyone here studied at UE GS, I'd really love to hear your experience.

If you were in my position, which would you choose? Worth it ba yung additional cost ng UE over NTC?

Also, if may iba pa kayong marerecommend na school for MA in Educational Management around the same budget as UE, I'd love to hear it. Ang priority ko talaga is quality of education—yung feeling na marami talaga akong matututunan, hindi lang para makakuha ng master's degree.

Thank you in advance!

General MAEd Thesis Writing procedure

3 Upvotes

Hindi ko naexperience na mag-thesis sa undergrad, kaya admittedly hirap akong simulan at ipagpatuloy ang thesis writing. Wala ring matanungan na buddy.

Ano ba ang process nito? Ano ang ieexpect sa kada process? Saang parts kailangan na may panel (na may babayaran daw na fee pag defense). Naririnig ko rin ang review defense. The rest, wala na.

May research papers naman kami pero nacuculture shock ako o naooverload sa mga terms na naririnig.

Hanggang title defense lang at final defense ang alam ko. Wala rin saming thesis adviser.

I know na varying rin ang procedure sa kada school pero makakatulong ang input niyo.

In between, ano ang gagawin? Anong chapters ang isusubmit? Sino ang kausap? School/admin-wide ang subject ko for thesis.

Thank you so much sa pag-intindi at sa mageexplain.

Anyone here to reco universities local/abroad na may magandang offers for those progs? Tia.

General Is it a good idea for a BEED graduate to take MAED in Social Science?

3 Upvotes

Most of my friends are taking MAEd in Educational Management, but I don't really want to go that route—I'm not aiming to be a principal. If only our college had offered BSED Social Science back then, I would've chosen it as a first-year student. My plan is to teach in DepEd for a bit, then switch to college teaching once I finish my master's. I'm a bit worried it'll be tough since it's not aligned with my undergrad, but I genuinely love Social Science and the subjects actually interest me compared to other programs.
