For some schools, the BA or BS will depend upon whether you concentrate more on developmental/clinical (BA) vs neurobiology (BS). To be able to do testing- one needs a PhD. PhD programs generally require a thesis- this means you must be skilled in doing research. A masters program doesn’t require the same time commitment, and you can still be a counselor, but can’t do formal neuropsych testing. I think it’s stupid, but it’s the way psychologists protect some of their income.
