Psychology
Welcome to Prairie State College's psychology program, where we offer a comprehensive
range of courses designed to provide students with a scientific understanding of human
behavior.
Whether you are interested in gaining a broad overview of psychology or delving into
specialized topics, our program has something for everyone.
Our Courses
At Prairie State College, our psychology courses cover a wide spectrum of topics,
from introductory surveys of basic principles to specialized examinations of areas
such as physiology, sensation, perception, motivation, learning and memory, maturation
and development, personality, individual differences, social behavior, human sexuality,
and abnormal behavior and its therapies.
Academic Preparation for Psychology Majors
For students aspiring to major in psychology, we strongly encourage the completion
of foundational coursework in the sciences and mathematics, in addition to a core
set of basic psychology courses. We recommend that students pursue the Associate in
Arts degree before transferring to a four-year institution, as this provides a solid
educational foundation for further studies in psychology.
Transfer Program Benefits
Our psychology transfer program is designed to offer a broad general education background,
equipping students with the knowledge and skills necessary for the specialized coursework
typically encountered in the final two years of a bachelor's degree program. By completing
our transfer program, students will be well-prepared to excel in their future studies
and careers in psychology.
