Program is designed for students wanting to complete the first 2 years of a bachelor's degree at the community college and transfer to a university to complete a BA in Psychology. Human behavior, how the mind works, and mental illness are explored. Careers often require a BA degree or higher. Psychology is the study of the mind and of behavior. It studies both individuals and groups of people, and it often involves case studies. Psychologists try to understand how mental functions affect individual and social behavior. They also explore emotion, motivation, personality, and relationships.
This program introduces students to Psychology and it includes courses that are common to all four-year institutions in Colorado.
The Associate of Science (AS) degree in Psychology prepares students to complete the second half of a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Psychology at a four-year university. Bachelor of Science degrees in Psychology have added skills in math, sciences, and research. Career paths for Psychology BS degree holders include working with medical doctors, psychologists, brain researchers, and biologists.
