The Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree is generally a pre-service degree that usually requires a minimum of 30 semester hours beyond the Bachelor's degree. While the program often requires education classes in order to meet state licensure requirements, it emphasizes advanced course work in a specific academic discipline to enhance one's knowledge in that subject area. Candidates usually spend a semester as a student teacher in order to earn the degree. There are two general models that (MAT) degrees follow: a 5th year model in which students spend one year extra beyond their bachelor’s degree to earn a masters degree and an initial teaching license; and a Flex program which usually offers part time weekend and evening courses to accommodate professionals who are changing careers. The Master’s of Arts in Teaching degree is often advantageous to middle school and secondary school teachers because it allows them to focus on subject area knowledge in their undergraduate program and then acquire pedagogical skills in their graduate studies. It differs from the Masters in Education (MEd) degree which is usually geared toward practicing teachers, or toward those who desire to serve as counselors (school or otherwise) or as educational administrators.

CanProf is correct, but I'd like to add one thing. the Master of Education is usually the type of degree but you focus on a specific area. So you might get an MEd Reading, or MEd Instructional Technology, or MEd Curriculum Instruction and Design. The MAT degree cannot be specified to any specific area. It is strictly general teaching.

I think your best bet is to go for one or the other. education or journalism. I would actually go with journalism cause you can teach and teaching will come for you. no one can really teach you how to teach

A Master's degree (Masters of Arts - MA, Masters of Science - MS or Masters of Education - MEd) in psychology is what is also known as "graduate school." You can only complete a Master's degree, AFTER you have finished your Bachelor's degree. A Master's degree in psychology will generally take you 2-3 years depending upon the University and type of program.

obviously it is much more harder than doing bachelors. It takes about 2 to 2 1/2 years.

I found graduate school easy compared to undergraduate work. Graduate school was harder work but there was less learning outside of my interests so it was more fun. What the person said first about time is what I have found to be true....1.5 to two years. There is usually a time limitation on the graduate course work...such as five years maximum to complete the requirements. If you go for a Master's Degree in Psychology, you may need to complete an internship after you earn the master's degree before you can be a registered or certified Psychologist. You need to talk to your advisor if you are already in an undergrad. Psych. program. You will also have to maintain a high average in all of the graduate level courses. If you do not get a high grade point average in graduate school, they can kick you out of the program.
