If it's federal aid, such as a Pell Grant or Stafford Loan, yes, it will transfer. State and school aid will not transfer.

Answer 4 :
To become A Psychologist would mean earning a bachelors degree in Psychology, and then attending Grad. school for an additional 3 years. With this masters degree you are qualified to counsel patients, but you are NOT allowed to prescribe medications. Also this course of education it is a lot harder to find a job. To become a Psychiatrist you also have to earn a bachelors degree in Psychology, and than you have to go on to medical school. With this degree you are ALLOWED to per scribe medications, and it is a lot easier to find a job. Which one you go for all depends on what you want to do for a career. A Psychologist spends more time talking with a patients and finds ways to solve their problems w/out the help of medications. Whereas a psychiatrist has a higher volume of patients, so they cannot spend the time to get to know everyone of them and help them to solve their problems w/out medications. The big question in decide ding which Field to go into is: Do you want to counsel, or do you want to prescribe?
Answer 5 :
they do not have much to offer at florida state i hope you meant university of florida(Gainesville)where there are six psychiatric divisions and help the private sector too. the standards and gpa requirements are much higher at u.of florida and reputation is recognized at u.of f . all over the usa. as it is recognized at the best state school in the nation. try to compare a california community college to stanford. http://www.psychiatry.ufl.edu/divisions.shtml and for admissions http://www.admissions.ufl.edu/ugrad/admissreq.html
Answer 6 :
That is a kind of question you should forward to the FSU. I believe you may study psychiatry after completing the couse of medicine. And you could it everywhere.

Answer 1 :
UF is definitely a lot better if you can get in and afford it, but if you don't get FSU is still good just not as good as UF. I think UF has better parties and is better academic wise. Good Luck!
