How to become a behavioral psychologist?

The qualifications needed for a career as a behavioral psychologist include a bachelor’s degree in psychology or a related field. You must then earn a master’s degree in clinical psychology, behavioral health, or a related field. This leads to the final educational step, which is earning a doctorate. Once the educational requirements are complete, you need to get 1 to 3 years of supervised experience in a clinical or health setting. State licensure is a requirement for clinical psychologists, and it is available through the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP).
