Yeah, Canada is different than that. We don't have this professional and academic thing that you appear to have. We just have Masters,
Ph. D, Bachelors, and.. something else, which I'm forgetting at the moment. I think the miminum you can get to start of is a Bachelors, and from then on you can choose to get a Masters, and then a
Ph. D in your choice of study. If I were to get a Bachelors of Psychology (which is what I thought you met by BA), then I could either choose to get my Masters/
Ph. D in Psychology, or go branch off from Psychology into something like.. child care guidence, etc.
Well, we have different levels of education. But Psychology in Canada is considered a pretty big deal, so you'd have to go to a pretty high level college to take it. We have things called Community College (you probably have these to), which I think would be an equvilent to an academic education where you are from. Community College is easier, but doesn't provide as many choices as a regular college. Example being, I wouldn't be able to take a full course in Psychology if I were to go to one.
