Not sure what you are talking about but just go to just about any schools webpage and look at the courses offered.

@ARE_you_kidding_me I have problems reading PDF files, I get confused and I don’t like it. I like to be able to write notes on the course guide with a pen. I just want to know what different Ph.D. programs exist as well as extra info on how to get into the program. I am putting the cart before the horse, and want to see what programms are available rather than what I am interested in first. Edit. I just want a list of online PH.D. program options available to me to choose from on one site.

I think I’d start with a bachelor’s or even an associate degree first.

@ARE_you_kidding_me I want to pick my whole path before starting… to narrow down the choices.

I had a college counselor that said the BEST way to go through university was to maximize the future options, “take a class that is a prerequisite for three classes not just one.”

@RedDeerGuy1 Then decide what PHD you want and look at the prerequisites. To do that you must look at the university catalog. I’d say the ability to do that is the most rudimentary prerequisite to getting that degree.

Ok I’m thinking of getting a bachelor of Arts in psychology from Athabasca University. Then MS in Psychology from Walden university then a PhD in Psychology as a researcher, from Walden university

I would say the best course of action would be to call those schools and ask them to send you what you are looking for.

Trying to choose a baccalaureate path by first choosing the Doctoral program is not putting the cart before the horse, but rather scheduling your first playoff opponent at the beginning of a sports season.

Acceptance into a Doctoral program is not a given, you may have unlimited choices or none when you have finished your undergrad program.

^^Perfect analogy.

What @zenvelo said. Or maybe to carry this further… trying to decide where to put the championship trophy before picking the sport to play.

Plus, one has to have some aptitude for any subject one is to pursue. Best to figure out what subject you have aptitude for, first.

@all I found a couple of books on lists of majors in university on amazon. Thanks all.
