Associate of Arts-Psychology
Back to top
The Associate of Arts-Psychology degree program provides an
overview of positive psychology, theories of personality, human
sexuality, the physiological and neurological bases of human
behavior, diversity, psychological disorders, and social
interactions. Students learn to analyze the interrelationship of
fundamental psychological theories and how they define and
explain human behavior, development, and abnormalities. Students
will also critically evaluate the robustness of various
psychometrics, develop their own psychological theories based on
a conglomeration of principles outlined by experts in the field,
and assess the impact of cognition on physical and mental health.
Bachelor of Science in Psychology
Back to top
The Bachelor of Science in Psychology program provides students
with a strong foundation in general psychology. Students will
gain insight into the cognitive and affective processes that
underlie the individual human experience through an analysis of a
variety of theoretical approaches related to human development
and behavior. The courses in this program do not have a clinical
emphasis and do not lead to professional licensure; instead, they
are designed to provide supervisors, managers and other
professionals with greater skills in critical thinking,
communication, collaboration, and information utilization through
the enhanced understanding of human psychology.
Master of Science in Psychology
Back to top
The Master of Psychology program focuses on the general rather
than clinical psychological study of individuals, including their
behaviors, thought processes, and emotions. The courses in this
program do not have a clinical emphasis and do not lead to
professional licensure. The program will provide supervisors and
managers in business, marketing, human resources, government
services or education with an understanding of the cognitive and
affective processes that underlie the individual human experience
and behavior; research methodologies by which this knowledge is
acquired; critical thinking and problem solving necessary to
evaluate behavior; and the application of theoretical principles
to inter- and intra-personal issues.
Doctor of Philosophy in Industrial/Organizational Psychology
Back to top
The Doctor of Philosophy in Industrial/Organizational Psychology
(Ph.D./IO) program will prepare graduates for careers in
industrial/organizational psychological research, consulting, and
instruction with emphasis on employee issues, organizational
development, human resource management, and research expertise.
Competence and effectiveness in any organization find their roots
in the people the organization employs and develops. Under this
auspice, leaders recognize the significance of critical human
resource methods, such as job design and analysis, organizational
culture assessments, training and development, and talent
management, on the sustainability and prosperity of any
organization. Thus, both strategic and tactical decision-making
must be based in sound, methodologically rich data gathering and
analysis, as well as robust theoretical frameworks for explaining
workplace behavior. Possession of these knowledges and skill sets
place industrial/organizational psychologists in a crucial role
for organizations, and as either consultants or leaders
themselves, these professionals utilize data-driven inquiry and
responses to improve efficacy, develop and maintain cultures of
high performance, and enrich the workplace lives of employees.
One university understands how you live today. And where you want
to go tomorrow. University of Phoenix. Thinking ahead.
