Overview

What if you could study the mind while building a strong scientific foundation for your future? The psychology pathway of the associate of science degree prepares you to transfer into a bachelor’s in psychology with an emphasis on data, research and the natural sciences. You’ll explore behavior, mental processes and human development while strengthening analytical, critical-thinking and information-management skills that align with the American Psychological Association’s core competencies. Focused on seamless transfer rather than immediate employment, this pathway gives you the quantitative and scientific grounding you need to thrive in an advanced psychology program.
