You're correct. The APA only accredits doctoral programs to train practitioners of health service psychology. Traditionally the subject title will be one or more of Clinical Psychology, Counseling Psychology, or School Psychology.

There is a push for the APA to accredit master's programs in health service psychology, especially as it's become clear that master's-level licenses with titles like "Psychological Associate" are here to stay in several states. That rationale will not lead them to accredit bachelors in psychology. An APA work group on master's accreditation is starting very small, recently authorizing site visits to two programs out of seven applicants.
APA seeks to accredit psychology master's programs (Stacey Larson, Good Practice [APA magazine], Fall 2019)
