Psychology

Are you interested in human behavior and how the mind works? Our Associate of Arts (AA) and Associate of Science (AS) degrees in psychology introduce you to this fascinating field and prepare you to transfer to a four-year university.

Why Study Psychology at Front Range Community College?

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and of behavior. At FRCC you'll study both individuals and groups of people, often reviewing case studies, surveys and research in the field.

We offer two degrees, the Associate of Arts (AA) degree and the Associate of Science (AS) degree. Both prepare you to transfer to a university to complete a bachelor's in psychology. A degree in psychology provides training for a career as a school or private counselor, psychiatrist, psychologist or therapist for young people and adults, in addition to many other career paths.

At FRCC, you can take classes online or in person at one of our three convenient campus locations.
