About This Program
Psychology B.A.Sc. (Online) is available for students with an Associate of Arts (AA) degree, Associate of Science (AS) degree, or who have completed the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MTC). The requirements for the online major are identical to those of the in-person major but are structured to facilitate the delivery in the online medium.
This program focuses on providing you with a firm grounding in the field of psychology. It encourages you to embrace diverse theoretical perspectives and ideas, to develop skills in independent inquiry, and to constructively and ethically apply psychological principles.
The major prepares you for applied careers in human services and graduate education while advancing your personal growth and life-long learning. You contribute to the advancement of psychology through research and other scholarly activities as well as through fellowship in student psychology organizations.
