Introduction
Psychology is the scientific approach to understanding human behavior. Psychology courses offered at Prairie State College (PSC) range from surveys introducing students to the basic principles associated with the study of psychology, to specialized courses that examine in detail topics that include physiology, sensation, perception, motivation, learning and memory, maturation, and development, personality, individual differences, social behavior, human sexuality, and abnormal behavior and its therapies.
Students who plan to major in psychology are encouraged to complete foundation coursework in the sciences and mathematics in addition to a core of basic psychology courses. It is recommended that students complete the Associate in Arts degree prior to transfer. The psychology transfer program provides a broad general education background and prepares students for the specialized coursework undertaken during the last two years of a baccalaureate program.
