Psychology is the science of behavior and mental
processes. Psychology covers a broad field including
the interrelationships between brain, environment and
behavior. Psychology courses teach theory and research
findings that can help you understand yourself and
others. You can apply what you learn about parenting,
interpersonal skills, problem solving, stress management
and emotional intelligence to your life and work. The
Associate of Arts degree in Psychology is intended
to provide you with the first two years of general
requirements and a basis in psychology that will prepare
you for transfer to a 4 year college or university.
