Pre-Psychology (PSYCH-AA)


PROGRAM GOAL: This program is designed to prepare students for completion of an Associate of Arts degree leading to a bachelor's degree in psychology. The field of psychology concerns the study of behavior and mental processes. This broad focus makes psychology a relevant course of study for any student intending to develop a career in the social and behavioral sciences, not just in psychology. Possible careers that would benefit from completion of a degree in psychology are education, management, medicine, law, counseling, social work, and other human services careers. Psychology is a limited access program at most Florida universities. For example, Florida State University requires an approved A.A. degree, a minimum GPA of 2.6 or better in all attempted courses, and completion with a "C" or better of an introductory statistics course. Students are encouraged to be familiar with the admissions requirements at the university they plan to attend.
