What are the classes that you have to take to get your associate's degree in psychologhy?

Answer 1

There are some community colleges that offer an associate degree in psychology. However, if you are going to take this degree, you must do so with the intention of going on for your bachelor's degree in psychology. While any degree will be beneficial, you will not be able to do much with an associate in psychology, especially within the field of psychology. Thus, make sure the associate degree in psychology is a transfer program to a four year college or university. That being said, the associate degree in this type of program is designed to complete the first two years of a four year program (major). Therefore the class will include many general education courses such as English, possibly a lower level math, history, lab sciences, Social Sciences (general psychology), other humanities etc. Other psychology courses would include, theories of personality, child or developmental psychology, adolescent psychology, etc. I would urge you not to take too many psychology courses at this level, and definitely not courses that might be junior or senior level courses at the four year institution such as abnormal psychology, psychological statistic, experimental psychology (if they offer it). If you take a course at the associate level that is a junior or senior level course at a four year institution, it will not be accepted. All in all, the community college is a great place to start.
