Program Description:
The Psychology Concentration Associate in Arts, Liberal Arts and Sciences degree program is designed for students planning to transfer to a bachelor’s degree program in psychology. This program provides students with a foundation of scientific knowledge, theories, research and practical applications in psychology. Advisors and transfer counselors work with students to assist with course planning based on the interests of the student and the requirements of the intended transfer institution.
Career and Transfer Outlook:
Most students in the Psychology Concentration will continue their studies toward a bachelor’s degree. Students should identify the requirements of their intended transfer institution and meet with career and academic/transfer counselors at MCC to plan their specific program. Students may pursue a wide range of careers in psychology, including human services, clinical/counseling, educational and guidance, and industrial/organizational.
Helpful Hints:
Introduction to Psychology (PSY 101) is a prerequisite for other psychology courses and should be taken early in the program.
