What is the relationship between mind and body? Today's psychologists answer this question by studying the many different facets of the human mind. Why are some people violent, while others are passive? Is depression genetic or a learned behavior? What are the neuro-chemical signatures of schizophrenia? Psychology majors can branch into many different careers, including abnormal psychology, criminal psychology, counseling and psychiatry.

Students wishing to transfer to a four-year school and major in Psychology can take related course work at Kirkwood as part of a Liberal Arts degree. Students enrolled in Liberal Arts complete general education and elective courses that prepare them for transfer and allow them to sample a variety of courses before choosing a major.

As a Kirkwood student, you will work with your advisor to determine which psychology courses are appropriate for you and your transfer college choice. Check EagleNet to see which psychology courses are offered each semester.
