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 course you will need to transfer to a four-year college or university. Graduates with a bachelor’s degree may also find position in sales, marketing, personnel and management. To become a psychologist or therapist, students will need to complete work beyond the bachelor’s degree.
