This pathway is designed to meet Associate in Arts degree requirements with a concentration in Psychology. Completion of this degree allows you to transfer into most bachelor’s degree programs with your first two-years of schooling completed. Have you ever wondered why people behave in certain ways? Or maybe you’ve always wanted to learn more about your own mind, emotions, and actions? Earning a degree in psychology is an excellent way to gain a greater understanding of people. During the course of your studies, you’ll study the biological, cognitive, emotional, and social bases of behavior. You’ll also explore how people’s everyday experiences affect their family, education, work and play. Along the way, you’ll acquire skills that most employers find attractive such as strong written and verbal communication skills, statistical analysis skills, and independent research skills. ​Whether your goal is to counsel people as a practicing psychologist—or you want to apply your psychology education to a career in business, marketing, social work or other field—this pathway can lead you to a wide range of career opportunities.
