Associate of Arts - Psychology
The Associate of Arts - Psychology degree program provides an overview of positive psychology, theories of personality, human sexuality, the physiological and neurological bases of human behavior, diversity, psychological disorders, and social interactions. Students learn to analyze the interrelationship of fundamental psychological theories and how they define and explain human behavior, development, and abnormalities. Students will also critically evaluate the robustness of various psychometrics, develop their own psychological theories based on a conglomeration of principles outlined by experts in the field, and assess the impact of cognition on physical and mental health.
