Psychology - Barton County Community College

Psychology from Barton County Community College is a Campus Associate Personality Psychology degree that prepares you for a Psychology career. The Psychology curriculum provides the first two years of a fouryear program leading to a bachelor's degree in psychology. The following courses provide fundamental training for transfer to a four-year university. Students should familiarize themselves with the degree requirements of the four-year institution you are transferring to, as these requirements will influence what courses are taken at Barton. In the field of psychology , employment prospects are directly related to level of degree attained. Individuals with only an Associate degree (A.A. or A.S) will find few psychology-related jobs. The associate degree is designed primarily to function as a transfer degree. Students who earn a bachelor's degree will find that many more job opportunities exist. Those individuals who possess a bachelor's degree in psychology can find employment in a wide range of human service occupations (e.g. case workers, corrections officers, group home coordinators). Please bear in mind, however, that competition for such jobs is very keen and that a four-year degree in psychology does not prepare one to engage in therapy. Students who wish to major in psychology should earn at a minimum the bachelor's degree and a master's degree if they are interested in becoming a therapist.
