Associate in Arts - Psychology
Psychology, a natural and social science, is concerned with the study of human and animal behavior. While the individual is usually the focal point, as in personality, developmental, clinical and counseling areas, the influence of groups on the individual is also considered. A broad discipline, psychology involves both pure science and practical application to everyday living.
