Associate in Arts in Psychology for Transfer (2011)
Psychology is the study of behavior and mental processes, growth and well-being of individuals, and an
understanding of oneself and one's interaction with others. The curriculum provides both scientific and
methodological knowledge, as well as the application of these principles to practical and daily living
experiences. The program offers courses that examine the diverse nature of our pluralistic society and an
appreciation of the multicultural world.
Entry-level careers in psychology include business, mental health/social services and community relations.
Professional careers in psychology require training beyond the Associate degree. PLEASE CONSULT AN
ACADEMIC COUNSELOR FOR GUIDANCE AND FURTHER CLARIFICATION.*
