Associate of Arts in Psychology
At Irvine Valley College, our Psychology courses provide academic instruction in basic psychology concepts, theories, terminology and research methods, and promote students' life skills, personal growth and interpersonal effectiveness. Students majoring in psychology focus on understanding human personality and behavior, cognition, and emotions, as well as researching psychological issues of current concern.
The critical insight that psychology requires makes this major especially appropriate for those considering careers in any of the helping professions (such as mental health counseling, public health, and social work), teaching, or behavioral research; or for those seeking a widely applicable liberal arts background.
