Psychology is the broad-based study of the complexities of human behavior dealing with how organizations, families and individuals behave and why they behave as they do. Psychology students probe into how the human brain organizes and interprets information and how that interpretation affects the senses, perceptions and general well-being of a person. By completing the Psychology Program, students earn an associate degree and prepare for transferring to a four-year college or university. People suited for a career in psychology are interested in human behavior. Career opportunities are available in counseling, education, private practice, research, personnel or sales.
