Psychology
Broaden your understanding of the human mind or lay the groundwork for a career in
psychology with coursework at Collin College.
Collin psychology coursework features a variety of introductory courses exploring
the principles of behavior and mental processes. Course offerings include general
psychology, life-span psychology, human sexuality, psychology of personality and social
psychology. These courses emphasize psychological theory and research, the historical
context of the development of the field and the use of psychological concepts as a
tool for better understanding what it means to be a human being.
An Associate of Arts degree with coursework in psychology serves as a foundation for
continued studies in the discipline. Because most careers in psychology require an
advanced degree, many students transfer to a college or university to complete the
bachelor’s degree and apply for admission to a graduate program in psychology.
