Do you have to have a Master's Degree to practice Psychology if you have a Bachelor's?

It depends on what you mean by "practice". In order to be licenced to provide services to the public you will need to have more than just a bachelor's degree, and in order to work independently you will also need to be licenced and have at least a master's... There are things that you can do in the field of psychology with just a bachelor's degree (although they are limited), such as working as a psych technician in a hospital.
