Psychology, A.A.


Beatrice, Lincoln, Milford, and Online

The Associate of Arts degree in Psychology is intended for students seeking to complete their first two years of a bachelor’s degree before transferring to a four-year institution to major in Psychology or a related field. Students declared in the Psychology AA program will find opportunities for engagement and connection to their chosen profession early in their academic careers. SCC also offers a strong and active Psychology/Sociology Student Organization that will support students within the program with expanded co-curricular opportunities.

The AA in Psychology curriculum is designed for flexibility and broad applicability to four-year transfer institutions. Since Baccalaureate degree requirements vary from institution to institution, the course options within each category are intended to provide a broad base of psychology and general education courses that fulfill many requirements at various colleges and universities in our region. Students are encouraged to meet with an advisor at both Southeast Community College and their intended transfer institution for assistance with selecting the program courses that will meet the degree and general education requirements for their bachelor’s degree for a seamless pathway from SCC to their next step.
