Click to Enlarge 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 (all campuses) has additional requirements for the psychology major. Any student who is planning to finish the degree at FSU or is thinking about finishing the degree at FSU MUST consult with one of the psychology advisors listed above before proceeding with the psychology A.A. degree. Students are encouraged to be familiar with the admissions requirements at the university they plan to attend.
