Psychology

Psychology is the scientific study of brain, behavior, and mental processes. It is an academic discipline and a social science which seeks to understand individuals and groups by establishing general principles and researching specific cases.

Our psychology program offers psychology for transfer (AA-T) degrees, and social and behavioral sciences associate's degrees and certificates.

She was part of the Associated Students of Norco College and Umoja program as well as others on campus. She transferred to UCLA later that fall. Here's her story. Congratulations Tami!
