Overview

Narrative

Human behavior is complex. Psychology studies this complexity.

Students may begin their path to a Bachelor's degree in Psychology by majoring in Psychology at NCC. Foundational courses in communication, statistics, science, social science, and the humanities will be complemented with major courses in psychology. We offer courses including Abnormal, Cognitive, and Developmental Psychology, and the Psychology of Sex and Gender. Students may also conduct independent research projects under the direct supervision of faculty members. The faculty works to ensure that every student receives high quality instruction and is exposed to a wide range of sub-fields in psychology. Through one-on-one advising tailored to each students interest, the Department is committed to providing knowledge and experiences that enable students to make educated and informed decisions regarding future occupational and educational choices. Students will be prepared to successfully transfer to psychology programs at four-year institutions, and be on track to enter at the appropriate level.

NCC also offers an A.A.S. degree in Counseling Psychology, aimed at students who, upon completion, hope to work in professions such as mental health technician, therapeutic support service (TSS) professional, direct care worker for people with special needs or mental illness, and job coach or employment specialist for people with special needs.
