Program Overview

Psychology is the social science discipline most concerned with studying the behavior, mental processes, growth and well-being of individuals. Psychologists take into account the biological and sociocultural factors that affect behavior and mental processes, and work with both humans and non-humans in a variety of academic, clinical, government, business, and nonprofit settings. Psychology is a broad discipline and profession, having both research and applied branches, with practical applications for personal growth and well-being.

The Associate in Arts for Transfer degree in Psychology provides students with the foundational knowledge necessary to make a successful transition into a Baccalaureate Degree at any of the CSU campuses.  The Associate Degree for Transfer (AA-T or AS-T) is a special degree offered at California Community Colleges. Students who earn an AA-T or AS-T degree are guaranteed admission to a campus within the California State University (CSU) system in a similar major, although not necessarily to a specific campus. Students who complete an AA-T or AS-T are given priority consideration when applying to a particular program that is similar to the student’s community college major, and will be given a special GPA advantage when applying to CSU impacted campuses or majors.
