Program Information
Are you interested in why people do the things they do? Psychology is the scientific study of human behavior and mental processes. You will explore various topics including functions of the brain, child development, aging, sexuality, learning, and abnormal behavior. Career fields include therapy, research, teaching, case work, or counselor’s aide. Butler’s program provides you with the basic courses you will need to transfer to a four-year college or university. Graduates with a bachelor’s degree may also find positions in sales, marketing, personnel and management. To become a psychologist or therapist, students will need to complete work beyond the bachelor’s degree. Start your career in Psychology with Butler and we will help you find your path.
Butler Community College is committed to flexible pathways for our student’s success. Courses are offered in varying delivery formats; face-to-face, blended and online. When reviewing this pathway, please check the Class Schedule to identify which format the course is offered to make sure you are selecting the delivery modality that fits your needs.
