Psychologists study and explain animal and human behaviors including mental processes. Psychologists apply this knowledge to optimize people’s lives. BSC’s psychology curriculum enhances knowledge and understanding of human behavior for students 1) entering the work force, 2) seeking service courses in psychology as a non-major and/or 3) preparing to transfer into a four-year degree in psychology.

BSC and Minot State University have a cooperative agreement that allows students to complete the Associate in Science degree or the Associate in Arts degree at BSC and continue with a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Minot State University on the BSC campus. BSC suggested curriculum prepares students for this option.

Students also complete the suggested curriculum for an Associate in Science degree or an Associate in Arts degree preparing them to transfer for a bachelor’s degree in psychology at other four-year colleges/universities. Bachelor degree requirements at four-year colleges/universities do vary, therefore, students may need to modify their curriculum according to a specific transfer school catalog.

Career Possibilities: Those with a bachelor’s degree are qualified to assist psychologists and other professionals in community and research settings. Areas of emphasis for career possibilities beyond bachelor degree include: Clinical/ Counseling, Educational/Teaching, Experimental/Research, Organizational/Industrial, Social, Developmental, Psychometrics (testing), Neuropsychology, and Vocational Rehabilitation.
